Exchanging the UART driver was also a reason, as far as I know. The "conventional" serial driver can still be compiled into the kernel, but it isn't the default anymore since sometime in the 6- branch. > I've tried sh makedev cuaa0, but get the errorCan't open > makedev: no such file or directory. I think "sh MAKEDEV" would be the correct call. Anyway, the /dev file system is a virtual file system now controlled by the devfs and devd system services. There is no need for the MAKEDEV script anymore. You could try to add a line like link cuad0 cuaa0 to /etc/devfs.conf and then # /etc/rc.d/devfs restart but I may be possible that the program you're intending to use does require the "conventional" serial driver that would create /dev/cuaa* entries. See the related man pages for more details. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
