Hi all, ok, this may be a dumb question, but here goes... I have just started using the 5.X branch of FreeBSD, and needed to mount a hot swap drive in a second drive bay. In the past, I've simply run MAKEDEV, and it made the device files for me, and then I was able to mount the drive and I was on my way... It appears that this has been replaced by devfs, and I must say that this is an extremely difficult process to understand (must mean its very powerful ;). All I want to do is create the da1 devices for my second scsi disk, and I honestly have no idea how to do that with devfs... Anyone shed some light for me ??? Thanks, Tim.
