It seems that devfs does not (yet) create the device nodes for hard disks correctly. It may be related to having the FreeBSD slice on a separate partition (in my case it was sd1s2). I've recently built a new root on sd0 using sd0x devices and not sd0xsNx, so I will give it another try when I next do a kernel build. > j@uncle 55% ls /dev > /dev: > bpf0% fd0.820# log@ rfd0.1480% rvn4% ttyp2% ttyvb% > console% fd0a# lpctl0% rfd0.1720% rvn5% ttyp3% ttyvc% > cuaa0% fd0b# lpt0% rfd0.720% rvn6% ttyp4% ttyvd% > cuaa1% fd0c# mem% rfd0.800% rvn7% ttyp5% ttyve% > cuaia0% fd0d# null% rfd0.820% speaker% ttyp6% ttyvf% > cuaia1% fd0e# ptyp0% rfd0a% stderr% ttyp7% urandom% > cuala0% fd0f# ptyp1% rfd0b% stdin% ttyv0% vn0# > cuala1% fd0g# ptyp2% rfd0c% stdout% ttyv1% vn1# > drum% fd0h# ptyp3% rfd0d% tty% ttyv2% vn2# > fd/ gsc0% ptyp4% rfd0e% ttyd0% ttyv3% vn3# > fd0# gsc0d% ptyp5% rfd0f% ttyd1% ttyv4% vn4# > fd0.1200# gsc0p% ptyp6% rfd0g% ttyid0% ttyv5% vn5# > fd0.1440# gsc0pd% ptyp7% rfd0h% ttyid1% ttyv6% vn6# > fd0.1480# io% random% rvn0% ttyld0% ttyv7% vn7# > fd0.1720# klog% rfd0% rvn1% ttyld1% ttyv8% zero% > fd0.720# kmem% rfd0.1200% rvn2% ttyp0% ttyv9% > fd0.800# lkm% rfd0.1440% rvn3% ttyp1% ttyva% > > That /dev looks fairly tidied up, doesn't it? :-) Sure does. > Btw., i just notice that ft0 is missing, and: > > bpf: ppp0 attached > bpf: ppp1 attached > bpf: lo0 attached > > ...bpf1 and bpf2 seems to be missing, too. And where are the hard disk devices? :-) DEVFS_ROOT works great for netboots though.
