On 4.x MAKEDEV is a shell script, so you should type sh MAKEDEV ...followed by your arguments. For example, 'sh MAKEDEV acd0t99'. And I think you have to be in the /dev directory for this to work, since that's where the MAKEDEV script is located. You also need to be root, or equivalent (su or sudo). MAKEDEV doesn't exist on 5.x, so if you're running 5.x that might also explain it not working. Those who are qualified to offer further suggestions (i.e. who know more than I do) would certainly ask two questions: a) what version of FreeBSD are you running (uname -a will tell you), and b) in what way does it "not work?" That is, exactly what do you type, and what is the system's response? -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging <|> ]
