Would using get_dos_device() be better, since that does fall through to default behaviour when the symlink isn't there?
No, it doesn't take into account existing devices either.
I chose oldconfig.c since that's where the \DEVICEMAP\Scsi entries get built. Would the scsi stuff want moving over to HAL too?
Yes, and it should be synchronized with the fake disk devices we currently create.
