I tried it with single and double quotes and like this \*
and the output was

devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_RADD: Input/output error

in each case.


Weird. Maybe there is something in the way PCBSD is set up, I don't know.

I have a FreeBSD 10.0 memstick.  The contents of /dev after I pick
the Live CD are almost identical to what they were with PCBSD.
There's an additional da4a that I guess has to do with the memstick.
I don't really see any other differences.

I tried the same devfs commands as above and the results are the
same as above.   I may try to install from the memstick, but would
then want to figure out how to get a desktop going.  Thanks.
