I have Xen 3.0.2 running on Debian Unstable with a straightforward
setup, mainly based on this howto
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/396.

When I have restarted dom0, I get this error, when I start a domU with
xm create -c vm.cfg
Error: Device 769 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found.

Google have pointed me to this solution:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-01/msg01302.html

That is, on the dom0-console I enter
mknod /dev/loop8 b 7 8
losetup /dev/loop8

to be able to start my domU's.

How can I get this done by the system itself (something in the
xend-init-file might be a workaround) ?
