You may need to make this device yourself as I recall having to make mine manually (cd /dev;sh MAKEDEV wd0s5) or similar. -- Regards Andrew Johns TurnAround Solutions Pty Ltd http://www.turnaround.com.au/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
