Laurence, There are 3 places you could have found the answer in less than the amount of time that it took you to write this e-mail. 1. Actually look at the MAKEDEV file. It's a highly documented shell script. All you would have to do it type 'more /dev/MAKEDEV' and read away. 2. 'man MAKEDEV' 3. http://www.FreeBSD.org/ But since I bothered to look it up I'll share it with ya (since I've probably asked the same question at some point in my life). (from man MAKEDEV) vty# set of 12 virtual console devices for syscons/pcvt/codrv So what you want to type is ./MAKEDEV vty11, it is smart enough to make everything up to 11 (vty0-10). Next time just take the 5-10 minutes to research your question before you ask, you'll be surprised what you fine. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Laurence Berland [SMTP:stuyman@confusion.net] > Sent: Sunday, May 09, 1999 6:56 PM > To: questions@freebsd.org > Subject: New Virtual Consoles > > How do I add them?? > I added new lines in /etc/tyys for ttyv4-ttyv11 > then try to ./MAKEDEV ttyv4 > but it wont make it > > > What do I do? > > > -- > Laurence Berland, Stuyvesant HS Debate > <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> > Windows 98: n. > useless extension to a minor patch release for > 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a > 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system > originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, > written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for > 1 bit of competition. > http://stuy.debate.net > icq #7434346 aol imer E1101 > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
