You can ofcourse make your own ones, like
  mknod /dev/dasda b 94 0
  mknod /dev/dasda1 b 94 1
and then run dasdfmt and 'fdasd -a' against them. I found that in some
situations the RedHat installer does not recognize the disks after it
has formatted them, and it helped to simply reboot after formatting.
