[ltp] OT: udev and fd0 device nodes

Hi,

is anyone here using udev already and found a way of having it create
floppy nodes other than fd0? I mean, things like fd0u1680 and such?

It seems not so easy to me because sysfs only reports the fd0 device
when the floppy module is loaded (2.6.7), so udev has no source for
alternative major/minor pairs. Or am i missing something?

So far i'm helping myself out with a mknod /dev/fd0u1680 b 2 44, but i'm
still hoping for a more elegant way.

André.
