This looks like a hardware error to me - one or more of the disk sectors holding /dev was damaged, and the rest were left intact. Unfortunately, the ones that were damaged are the ones that contain some of the important system devices, so it's quite likely you're locked out of the system, console access too :( You might have to boot a rescue CD or something, then back up as much of the usable info as possible, and scrap the disk. G'luck, Peter -- Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
