Unlike FreeBSD 4, where stuff in /dev/ had to be created manually, FreeBSD 5 uses devfs to create the device nodes as needed, when devices come and go. I haven't actually used my card reader on 5 yet, so I could be missing something obvious here... > Remove 128MB card and insert 8MB card > > hp# camcontrol rescan 0:0:2 > Re-scan of 0:0:2 was successful What does 'fdisk da2' give you at this point? Do you get anything in /var/log/messages when you insert the new card? It might be worth doing a 'camcontrol start' after the rescan, just in case, but I don't really think that will make any difference. Since you're running FreeBSD 5, it might be worth re-porting your question to the freebsd-current mailing list, to see if anyone there can shed some light on this.
