Additionally you need to install a new /dev/MAKEDEV (mergmaster(8) will assist you in this). A while back I moved the install location for chown and chgrp from /usr/sbin and /usr/bin to /sbin and /bin. This was because of MAKEDEV(8)'s dependence on them, and thus forced /usr to be mounted for correct operation of MAKEDEV(8). Of course that is bad since you could easily be trying to create the device node to even mount /usr. This week, I have added chown-like functionality to mknod(8) and restored chown & chgrp back to their previous locations. MAKEDEV has been updated to use the new functionality of mknod(8). However, do to this moving around of chown & chgrp's install location, you may easily have stale versions in /sbin and /bin. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
