When I execute the "uptime" command on my funky fresh FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE 
system, it gives me the following response:

    bash-2.05a$ uptime
    uptime: /dev/:0: No such file or directory
     5:38PM  up  2:05, 0 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
    bash-2.05a$

Any clues as to why this is happening (i.e. user error or system error)?

Thanks,
Chip Morton
