What you've done is to have the standard ``MAKEDEV all'' create ad4 & ad5, which isn't really what is wanted. You probably created the non-by-default ad[45] devices before MAKEDEV was converted to only make raw devices. In your case a simple ``MAKEDEV ad4 ; MAKEDEV ad5'' with a current MAKEDEV should have fixed you right up. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
