Laptops :: mknod not included with DSL

Hi all,

I need to know where to get mknod to create a device from the 32MB of non-cached RAM I have installed on my laptop. (I have done append="fastmem=64M mem=96M") According to the instructions I have I need to do:

Code Sample

swapon -p n /dev/slram
mknod -m 0600 /dev/slram b 35 0
mkswap /dev/slram
swapon -p n /dev/slram

I was planning on eventually putting this in bootlocal.sh

It should all work, if I can get mknod onto my PC

Thanks for the help,

Riocard

You should be able to find mknod in the gnu-utils.dsl in the system section of the repository. Use the mydsl system fetch and load it.
