The devices are what we see as the result of the error. Major changes I see to the emulation code from 3.2 to -current: 1. A number of ioctl and VT_ changes 2. divorce dev_t from major|minor bitmap. I would expect one of these change is causing the problem. Thanks again, Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
