Does it show up in your dmesg?  I had a similar problem with a cdrom
drive, devfs would not create
the node under the appropriate /dev directory (ide or /dev/cdroms).  To
get around this, I simply issued
a mknod command for the proper major and minor number and it worked fine.

When you used devfs=nomount, it should have been accessible from
/dev/hd[a-d] depending on
which channel you had it installed on.  Hope that helps so you can at
least use the device.

Brian.
