Hi, > To my surprise, null was actually a huge file filled with tabs. I deleted > it (rm null), then I did ln -s zero null. I think that induced your problem. /dev/zero and /dev/null arenīt identical. From /dev/MAKEDEV mknod null c 2 2; chmod 666 null mknod zero c 2 12; chmod 666 zero Sorry, but I donīt know, where in the boot process you would need /dev/null the first time, so I donīt know, where your boot hangs. I suggest to use a fixit floppy, mount / && cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV null I have no clue, why your first step didnīt send your bytes to Nirvana and instead created a normal file containing your input. Any suggestions? Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
