Re: Install Boot Problem
About "block-major-11":
$ ls -l /dev | grep 11,
brw-rw---- 2 root cdrom 11, 0 May 21 2000 scd0
brw------- 2 root cdrom 11, 1 May 21 2000 scd1
brw------- 2 root cdrom 11, 10 May 21 2000 scd10
brw------- 2 root cdrom 11, 11 May 21 2000 scd11
brw------- 2 root cdrom 11, 12 May 21 2000 scd12
brw------- 2 root cdrom 11, 13 May 21 2000 scd13
...
$
The 11 is the major number, and the 0, 1, 10, ... are the minor numbers.
