Access to /dev/hda4p1 ?

Hi there,

I have a disk setup that looks like the following:

[root at box ~]# fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 30.7 GB, 30750031872 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3738 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/hda2              14        2180    17406427+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3            2181        2244      514080   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda4            2245        3738    12000555   83  Linux

hda4 has been (sub)partitioned so that fdisk reports the following:

[root at box ~]# fdisk -l /dev/hda4

Disk /dev/hda4: 12.2 GB, 12288568320 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1494 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda4p1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/hda4p2              14        1494    11896132+  8e  Linux LVM

What I would like to know is, how can I get access to (i.e. mount) these 
partitions? The /dev/hda4p{0,1} special files don't exist, and I have 
had no success creating them with mknod as I don't know what the major 
or minor device numbers should be.

Any help gratefully receieved.
