I was planning > (once I had mounted /) to perform makedev for wd1*. Get out your fixit.flp. Boot kern.flp, mfsroot.flp, and then choose the "Fixit" option. Or if you have, but a doubt it from the tone of your message, use your own custom boot floppy. Note that using MAKEDEV from the fixit floppy is a bit tricky. MAKEDEV expects /sbin/mknod, but that's not where it is when you boot up to fixit mode. What exactly did you break here, by the way? Did you move a disk? Delete entries from /dev and not rebuild them? Botch a 3.4 to 4.0 upgrade? -- Crist J.
