Hi !
After upgrading to -current I invoked '/usr/src/etc/etc.i386/MAKEDEV all'
to create all possible device entries.
The special file in /dev for the root fs (/dev/sd0a) was created.
But the following special files were only deleted, but not re-made:
/dev/sd0s3b /dev/sd0s3d /dev/sd0s3e /dev/sd0s3f
/dev/sd0s3g /dev/sd0s3h
Calling MAKEDEV with different arguments ( all | std | sd0 )
didn't work. I had to call MAKEDEV with the following arguments:
MAKEDEV sd0s3d sd0s3e sd0s3f sd0s3g sd0s3h
During runtime MAKEDEV complained, that it couldn't find chown
and chgrp.
I think these programs (chown, chgrp) should move to /bin for the
case, that you can't mount the /usr filesystem.
Additionally I would suggest, to add an editor and a pager
to the /bin tree. I forgot the exact command flags of the
mount command, to remout a read only mounted device rw.
Good luck, I have the O'Reilly manual set...
I know that this command is in one of the rc files, but,
can you read as fast as a "cat /etc/rc" ?! Not possible.
I'd vote to get a pager and an editor into /bin.
Or what do you think about it ?
