Hi,

	I spent this lovely weekend replacing our primary disk on an Everex
386/25.  The problem is that when I try to mount the two partitions on the
second disk I get a mount error:

	mount: cannot access special file
	mount: No such device or address

Oh yeah, the first time that I try the mount I get a message as follows:

%disk	- 	-	-	cyl: xxxx	head: xxx    sec/trk: xxx

something like that.  Anyway, was there something stored on the primary disk
besides the special files in /dev that wasn't restored when I restored the
files?  Do I have to run ``mknod'' or something like that?  I do not want to
run mkdev hd because I'll loose my data on the second drive (well, I have it
on tape but it'll be a pain getting it...).  Please respond to me because I
need to fix this as soon as possible.  Thanks!
