It's too bad the installer had a problem but I'm glad you didn't try
to follow my earlier advice because I've learned the hotplug system
creates the relevant /dev files! The things I was doing would have
disappeared on reboot. All _I_ needed to do was add sg to /etc/modules
and hotplug created the /dev/sg0 and /dev/sg1 devices on the next
boot.
