[PATCH]:(remake) missing /dev/stX & /dev/nstX even if rescue mode

[HARA Hiroshi <hhara@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

as you know, anaconda try to load st.ko for tape support
if we are in rescue mode.

[see the followings (loader2/loader.c)]
-------------------------------------
1658     /* if we are in rescue mode lets load st.ko for tape support */
1659     if (FL_RESCUE(flags))
1660         scsiTapeInitialize(modLoaded, modDeps, modInfo);
-------------------------------------

but /dev/st0, /dev/st1,... are not created by anaconda, even if
scsi tape device(s) is found and load st.ko successfully on
rescue mode.additionally, /dev/nst0,... are also needed.
(--> FYI:RHEL4 has "/dev/st0" and "/dev/st0" statically)


so I made the patch for this condition.
(and then test it on the machine which has two tape device)

thank you very much
