Help!! I need my LS120



I have an external, parallel port, LS120 floppy drive (128Mb).
When I tried MD 6.2, SuSE 6.2, MD 7.1, Caldera 2.4 flavors
of Linux all I had to do was:

modprobe paride
modprobe epat
modprobe pf
mount -t vfat /dev/pf0 /mnt

and I could use my LS120 just as any other floppy.

When I do this in Debian 2.2 I get an error that there
is no device /dev/pf0.  I attached /dev and did a "./MAKEDEV pf0"
( and ./MAKEDEV pf ) and got the error don't know what "pf0" is.
I tried a "./MAKEDEV update" and also got a "don't know how to 
make device "pf".

Any ideas on how to get my LS120 working on Debian?
