Severity: normal

Hi !

Following Appendix D.3 on installing Debian from another Unix system,
I think that an additionnal step must be added after editing
/etc/fstab : creation of device nodes.

You may get errors about inexisting special devices:
mount: special device /dev/sda13 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/sda12 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/sda11 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/sda9 does not exist

In this case, use the following commands:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV sd

Or if you try to install on IDE disks:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV hd
