try_name () determined "part" with minor 3 and "res" contained major 3.
Now, try_name () returned "6" and mknod () created /dev/root with
major 0 and minor 6. I did a left shift of 8 bits, to give mknod () an
appropriate 16 bit value of type dev_t.
Hmm, I was not sure here. Does it break other setups? I thought this could
be a problem in other setups, too.
Regards,
Volker
