I'm sure it will. Looking through his original message, and note (after cleaning up his mailer crapping all over it): > my df: > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > /dev/ad0s1a 228207 98219 111732 47% / > devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev/ > /dev/ad0s1e 3460132 1892196 1291126 59% /usr > procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc > /dev/acd0a 659010 659010 0 100% /cdrom He's using devfs. There is no /dev/MAKEDEV (and it doesn't show up in his ls of /dev ). Devfsf won't allow you to make nodes on it, so there's no point in it being there. All of which is part of why you don't want to run -current without good reason. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
