Do you mean /dev/emd/0p1 for "Enhanced Metadisk RAID" by any chance?
Otherwise this does not make sense.
I have asked around a bit and these devices are currently not supported in
Debian (especially by the makedev package that is responsible for
creating static devices).
Could you give some more information on your system? Please send a full
installation report [1] to this bug (330560@bugs.debian.org).
Could you also give some basic info on what EMD is and how it is setup?
Cheers,
