[Morphix-devel] ataraid support

[<ri...@wi...>]

First off, very impressive project you have here.  I've been trying out all the
Knoppix derived distros (mainly to install Debian Sid on my annoying hardware)
and yours is the only one that can actually boot into X without any problems. 
Anyway,  the annoying hardware that I'm trying to install Morphix on is an
integrated Highpoint 370 ataraid controller.  I'm using 4-1 and the kernel is
compiled with support for this device, however, there are a couple problems.

1) The knx-hdinstall script doesn't know about ataraid drives.  The following
diff allows it to install to an ataraid drive.  I haven't looked at the code for
your GUI installer however.

morph-2.05b# diff /morphix/installer/knx-hdinstall /home/morph/knx-hdinstall
216a217,220
>       ataraid/d?)
>         echo "$p ataraid" >> $TMP
>       NUMHD=$[NUMHD+1]
>       ;;


2) The /dev nodes aren't created.  The following simple script will do that:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p /dev/ataraid
cd /dev/ataraid
