I think it's more a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 thing. :) Anyway, if you activate the su and ssc pseudo-devices, and (umask 077; mknod /dev/scsisuper c 18 0) you should be going. I've been tempted to put these devices into the GENERIC kernel, but so far stood away due to another 4 KB of bloat which perhaps nobody would use. I was hoping to get some feedback from the author of `cdrecord' whether this device might be of some use for him. (He loudly complained in public that FreeBSD were missing such a device.) He choose to not respond to me. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
