mount /root/fedora/fedora.fc5.img /mnt -o loop

for i in console null zero ; do MAKEDEV -d /mnt/dev -x $i ; done

umount /mnt

start domU


I guess it was not clear from my posting that it was the /dev/sdb
RHEL4 installation which was not booting. The FC5 installation was in
fact booting. Nevertheless, I mouted /dev/sdb1 on a local directory
and created the the three character devices suggested and it worked.

Can't I use some ramdisk to emulate this functionality? I mean ...
without creating the devices.

Thanks a ton.
