On the last page, it says "If you are not using devfs(5) (which is the default in FreeBSD 5.X), you should make sure that you do not forget to run MAKEDEV all in the dev directory." Now, the article is dated 1996, but it still mentions devfs and FreeBSD 5.x. How long has FreeBSD 5.x been around? AFAIK it has been a work in progress for quite some time, but devfs back in 1996? Has the howto been updated without the date being changed, or am I missing something here? -- R
