The /dev creation is up to your initrd.
but I don't have initrd, so I need the kernel to create /dev/<drive>.
It does create other devices, right?
Kernel does not maintain /dev, ever. Times of devfs are long gone.
All nodes in your /dev are created in userspace.
What needs to be done to get the device created and mapped to a
generic CF card?
You need to ensure you have SCSI_DISK support included (as CF is a disk)
and you need your initrd either to create device nodes, or to prepack
them.
I don't see SCSI_DISK as a config option, can you please elaborate on this?
It's CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD.
