There seems to be a change in the devfs infrastructure between 4.x and 5.1. The documentation (FreeBSD Handbook) says the devices for fd and cdrom will be automatically managed. Are there any configuration changes which needs to be done ? Thanks, Srini. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/
