You don't need to remake it. The size 0 shows you've got devfs mounted on /dev, which is the default for -current. Unless you mean something other than what I think you mean by "/dev is size 0". > How ? If you really want to do that, you need to compile a new kernel without devfs in it, and boot that. If /dev/MAKEDEV doesn't reappear, install it from /usr/src/etc. BTW, -current isn't a very good thing to run on a computer you depend on working properly to do anything important - not unless you're capable of debugging system crashes yourself, anyway. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
