In Red Hat Advanvced Server 2.1, setting up raw disk devices was rather
straightforward - primarily, you defined the mapping in the
/etc/sysconfig/rawdevices file and the configuration was saved.

In Suse Linux version 9, we are trying to do the same thing, however the
documentation does not seem to indicate how exactly to configure raw devices
so that the configuration is saved.  We went through the documentation and
we were able to successfully configure them the way we wanted (although we
ran into several glitches such the udev.permissions file not following the
owner/group/permission info we setup there per the documentation - we had to
go in and do the old fashioned chown/chgrp/chmod), however once the machine
was rebooted, the configuration was "lost".

Any input or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
