Hello, I have built a new kernel on a FreeBSD 5.2 system which doesn't boot anymore. So I took a Freesbee and mounted the filesystems from the harddisk and changed root to the harddisk's one. But there were no devices in /dev. I tried some of /etc/rc.d/dev*. This only created a /dev/null. Trying to build the kernel (with a different configuration) fails. A regular file /dev/stdout has been created. What is the recommended way to create the device nodes in /dev in a chroot environment? -Hanspeter
