This is a variation of the short script in the
'Linux for S/390 Device Drivers and Installation commands' IBM Redbook
page 13 (l390dd.pdf):
cat /proc/dasd/devices | sed '/unknown/D;s/^.*[(]\([ 0-9]*\)[:]\([ 0-9]*\)[)].*\(dasd[a-z]*\)[: ].*$/\1 \2 \3/g' | awk ' $1 { printf "mknod /dev/%s b %d %d 2>/dev/null; mknod /dev/%s1 b %d %d 2>/dev/null; mknod /dev/%s2 b %d %d 2>/dev/null; mknod /dev/%s3 b %d %d 2>/dev/null; ",$3,$1,$2,$3,$1,$2+1,$3,$1,$2+2,$3,$1,$2+3; }'
Be careful that your mail client doesn't add some characters for linebreaks
