Some time ago I messed with /dev/hdc, and ended up with this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# file /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc: directory
Everything has been working allright with a cd-drive attached,
but now I have an old hard drive attaced at that second ide cable
in the master position, and I'm not able to access it with
fdisk, cfdisk or testdisk etc.
My knowledge on device nodes and the like is close to none,
but I understand that /dev/hdc should be a block special device.
What should I do to restore this?
Remove the messed-up hdc and use "mknod" to create a proper
hdc with major number 22 and minor number 0.
man mknod
