Well, it should have minor 16, so in the wrong setup he could have you are=
=20
right, but a better solution is to fix the minors with mknod (i.e. mknod=20
/dev/ubd1 b 98 16). This loop fixes the majors.

cd /dev; for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do rm -f ubd$i; mknod ubd$i b 98 \
$[ $i * 16 ]; done

=2D-=20
