I usually create them manually with mknod (look at other box for major/minor numbers), but you might be able to convince sysinstall to do it for you ;) If you own a CD set, you could use the CD with live FS (CD2 IIRC), it's a bit more complete then the fixit floppy. This won't help if the box doesn't have a CD drive though. I suggest you look up the nescessary major/minor numbers for the devices you need, e.g. ad0s1a: crw-r----- 2 root operator 116, 0x00020000 Apr 20 03:22 /dev/ad0s1a This is a character special, major 116, minor 0x00020000 You can create it with mknod /dev/ad0s1a c 116 0x00020000 After creating these devices, you should be able to mount them.
