This may have allowed my laptop to stay 5.0; unfortunately, I had to regress it to 4.7 to get it to work again. The new line is: devfs /dev devfs rw 0 0 according to man devfs, posted at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=devfs&sektion=5&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE The man page does not say "Put this line into /etc/fstab", but it looks like an fstab line to me. If this is correct, I wish they would put this information into UPDATING. I wonder if it is harmless to have the line in /etc/fstab while running FreeBSD 4.7. -- Wayne M Barnes wayne@etaq.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
