Nowhere does it mention /dev/random as one of the standard devices, but I ran ./MAKEDEV std and got it. As I said, this system was recently upgraded to FreeBSD4.5 and the upgrade was done on the system when it was in multi-user mode. I guess all the standard devices did not get made at that time. Is there any kind of script that one can run to make sure there are not any other nasty omitions? I recently upgraded 3 more systems to 4.5 and it definitely pays to go to single-user mode as the documentation says.
