Hello,

I got through 'make world' and copied/merged /etc files, remade
devices with sh MAKEDEV all, but apparently forgot to remake
some old devices. When I reboot I get

/dev/wd0s1f: no such file or directory
can't stat /dev/wd0s1f

It puts me into single user mode. Running fsck there just gives
similar messages. If I cd to /dev and try to make this

sh MAKEDEV wd0s1

I get

rm: wd0s1: read only file system
rm: rwd0s1: read only file system
mknod: wd0s1: file exists
mknod: rwd0s1: file exists

A sample of ls -l shows my old slices standing out. For example:

brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 24 Sep 24 17:50 wd3a

looks pretty normal, but

brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020012 Sep 24 17:50 wd0s1

seems weird.

Can anyone help me? I've been trying to install -current for a week.

Thanks.

Greg
