Package: debian-installer-manual
Version: 20050317

Like #321901 mentions, some dev links are missing while installing from a
previous Linux distro.

In order to install kernel-image package, I had to type:

# /dev/MAKEDEV fd0
# /dev/MAKEDEV hda

I suggest to add a warning in the doc

I'm installing Debian sarge, kernel kernel-image-2.4.27-2-sparc64

The installation-guide documents this sort of installation in appendix
D.3 and in D.3.4.1 it advises to create dev files via "MAKEDEV generic" command.
This should do the trick.
So closing this bug.
