Ah.  There's the problem.  Sorry about that.  You will
need to create them:
----------------------
mknod /dev/hdb5 b 3 69
mknod /dev/hdb6 b 3 70
mknod /dev/hdb7 b 3 71
----------------------
Or simply install the devs.tgz package from Slackware 7.1
(in /slakware/a1).  That will give you the full set of
device files (BL2 only provides a small subset).

Cheers,
Steven
