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 ?
