I've tried devfs, it's exactly what I need.
There is just one probleme:
When my system boot, there is no ZIP disc into zip drive so only c0b0t6u0
appears in /devfs/sd
So when I insert a ZIP into the drive and tries to mount /devfs/sd/c0b0t6u0p4 ,
mount tells me that this special device does not exist.
When i do mount /dev/sdb /mnt, kernel detects the ZIP and it's partition, and
mount it.
After that, I get c0b0t6u0p4 in /devfs/sd
Is there a way to force kernel to detect ZIP partition before executing mount ?
