Subj : Re: /usr/bin/raw does not exist after installing Fedora Core 3

What I have done so far is:
1. create files: dd if=/dev/zero of=_file_disk1 bs=1k count=1000000
2. associate a loop device to each file: losetup /dev/loop1 _file_disk1

Step 3 would be to bind a raw device to a block device created at step 2:
raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/loop1. This is where I got stuck...
