Hi, I installed 5.2-RELEASE on a system which has a NetBSD disk in it as well. Although disklabel shows 3 NetBSD partitions (ad2s4a, ad2s4b (swap) and ad2s4e), no ad2s4* entries are created in /dev. There is a /dev/ad2s4, which is mountable and correctly gives the NetBSD root partition that is on ad2s4a. I see no way however of mounting the NetBSD /usr partition on ad2s4e. The same problem is described here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-July/013323.html I have 'solved' the problem by downgrading to 4.9-RELEASE as I see no way of creating a working ad2s4e by hand. Disabling devfs is also impossible. Walter. -- Walter Belgers "Si hoc signum legere potes, operis boni in rebus walter@belgers.com Latinis alacribus et fructuosis potiri potes!"
