Following up on my eariler question > Here is the line I used in the > %pre section: > /usr/sbin/sfdisk -d /tmp/sda | sfdisk /tmp/sdb I've also added before the above line /usr/bin/mknod /tmp/sda b 8 0 /usr/bin/mknod /tmp/sdb b 8 16 and get errors on tty3 that "bad minor # 0" "bad minor # 16" then it goes on to say that sfdisk cannot find /tmp/sdb or read from /tmp/sdb . I've also tried creating the devices w/o the major/minor numbers and also in the /dev dir , but still no go. How do others create pre-made partitions in %pre section? TIA Steve Also, if it helps any, I do notice that as soon as anaconda gives me a shell on tty2, in /tmp there is no listings for any sd devices intially, but they get made after Raid devices are made by anaconda.
