Subject:   deleted slice devices in /dev :(
Message-ID:  <37AC99DB.F5C5BB04@thedial.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
During an OS upgrade, I made the mistake of deleting the slice devices
for my harddrive. I am able to boot into single user mode, but I can
only mount the / fs in read only mode.

When I attempt a 'mount -u /', I get the message 'mount: No such file or
directory' and I can't create the device since 'cd /dev;sh MAKEDEV
wd0s1a' returns 'rm: wd0s1: Read-only file system'

How can I mount my root fs in read/write mode so that I can remake the
missing devices?
