Hi Dave. Wheezy uses sysconfig-hardware for this. To have the DASD
come online automatically, follow a procedure similar to the one below.
Do this as root.
cd /etc/sysconfig/hardware
touch config-ccw-0.0.0204
update-initramfs -uk $(uname -r)
The above example assumes that the device number to be added is 0204.
Change this as appropriate for your system.
There are some bug reports against sysconfig-hardware that you might
want to take a look at. They haven't been fixed, but the bug reports
show how to fix them.
