That is correct. > and how exactly does that NsMa disk/slice thingy work? When you do sh MAKEDEV all it will make your disk slices, but it will make not make the partitions on your slices. For my ide disk, I did sh MAKEDEV ad0s4a since FreeBSD is on the 4th slice. Doing that causes it to create the entries ad0s4a ad0s4b ...all the way to ad0s4h Then edit /etc/fstab to use ad0 devices (just change the "w's" to "a's"), so that when your new 4.0 kernel goes looking for ad0 devices it can find them.
