While the point may be moot, /dev/nosst0 on my box is major 206, minor 0.
I'm not sure where it came from as I inherited the system from the previous
admin and have never worked with one of these drives before. I suppose it's
worth a shot, but as Gene said, it might not be the problem.

I have CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST=y in my kernel config to enable that device. I'm
not sure if that's a patch or if that's in the standard kernel (again with
the inheritance). 

Hope that helps...

Matt
