Try ./MAKEDEV acd2, this should make 2 acd devices, named acd0 and acd1. It would appear to be a bug that ./MAKEDEV all doesn't at least make acd0 (MAKEDEV all does MAKEDEV acd0, and as you have found the latter does nothing). -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
