I used to use FreeBSD about 7-8 years ago, but since then I've been using Linux, and got back to freebsd these days, and found MAKEDEV has gone!! I was astonished to see major nodes of all devices are 12!! Neither "man devfs" nor "info devfs" give me good info. I cannot find good info in /usr/share/doc either. My question is simple: how to make nodes in /dev for ad1 slice/partitions? I don't know major/minor numbers, or usage of devfs. I googled for usage of devfs, but it's too new for me to find the proper usage....even in FreeBSD Handbook. Will anyone give me a proper direction or resource?
