Hi! Unfortunately, i have not yet found the time to read the messages in your other thread. So, I hope I'm answering the correct questions here, being a bit out of context.

$ showtrans /dev/hd2
/hurd/storeio hd2
Thus you'd need something like this:
# settrans -cfgap /dev/sr0 /hurd/storeio sr0
... assuming that sr0 is the Mach device name. You can check if such a
device exists:
# devprobe hd0
hd0
# devprobe moo; echo $?
1
Also, there is a /dev/MAKEDEV script.

Not required. But you possibly have to take care to deal with replacing
both active and passive translators at /dev/[...].
