According to bind-9.1.0/README:
On FreeBSD systems, the server logs error messages
like "fcntl(8, F_SETFL, 4): Inappropriate ioctl for
device". This is due to a bug in the FreeBSD
/dev/random device. The bug has been reported
to the FreeBSD maintainers. Versions of OpenBSD
prior to 2.8 have a similar problem.
As far as your -g question, it seems -g support has been deprecated,
although I can't find any confirmation of this in BIND9 docs. The new
functionality of -g is to (according to the new manpage):
-g run named in the foreground and force all logging to stderr.

I did run into something odd that I can't quite figure out, it's also mentioned in the 9.1 documentation and I'm sure some one knows the answer. I managed to start BIND fine, yet digging through the logs I ran into this line that makes me wonder.

Also, when trying to start BIND 9.1, it will start fine as 'named -g', though when I try to 'named -u bind -g bind' (so it runs as that user/group) it doesn't launch to the background, and fails to start period. Any ideas? (Sorry for all the questions, I just moved from 8.X and am still getting used to the changes/features)
