If I remake > them with MAKEDEV they have the "correct" permissions. That's why the final installation step is to re-run a MAKDEV for all devices. (A box appears: ``Remaking all devices.'', and since the day Jordan went to async mounted file systems, it's sometimes even the longest lasting box on your screen at all. :) No wonder, installing the bindist now can be done in less than five minutes.) Note that the tar file is likely to have other device entries wrong, e.g. those with a minor number that's too large to fit into a tar file. (What does your /dev/rsd0.ctl look like, is it in the tar file at all?) Of course, if you decide to _not_ pick sysinstall, you are responsible yourself to DTRT. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
