Tweaking init to log to /dev/cuaa0, and converting vsyslog() calls into vfprintf(), finds that things are failing due to this: can't open /dev/console: No such file or directory I see that the 'devfs' global variable isn't initialized, so I'm going to initialize that. I'll also see if my on-disk /dev is broken or something, although I'm not sure how easy it is to fix. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
