-If you will be working with more than 20 partitions on your ide disk,
-you will need to create devices for partitions 21 and beyond. The next
-step of initializing the partition will fail unless a proper device is
-present. As an example, here are commands you can use in
-<userinput>tty2</userinput> or under <guimenuitem>Execute a shell</guimenuitem>
-to add a device so the 21st partition can be initialized:
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-# cd /dev
-# mknod hda21 b 3 21
-# chgrp disk hda21
-# chmod 660 hda21
-</screen></informalexample>

-Booting into the new system will fail unless proper devices are present
-on the target system. After installing the kernel and modules, execute:
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-# cd /target/dev
-# mknod hda21 b 3 21
-# chgrp disk hda21
-# chmod 660 hda21
