Don't try to make rcd1, cd1c, etc, using MAKEDEV. Use only the basic device name, and MAKEDEV will create all the raw devices and slices that are needed. stealth : /dev # ./MAKEDEV cd1 > 3) cd1 probes printed 10 seconds or so after the console comes up > to the login prompt after booting. > cd1 at ncr0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 > cd1: Removable CD-ROM SCSI2 device > cd1: 3.300MB/s transfers > cd1: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present > I don't know if this is a bug or not, but it is a little surprising to > have this stomp on the login prompt.

If you want them to. It'll probably be semi-trivial to make this happen. I'm considering making a change so that cd's are not probed for size. > 4) ldd(1) man page has a ref to ld.so(1), which doesn't exist. Interesting. There is still a rtld.1 in the source tree; I'm suprised it doesn't get installed. > 7) Emacs 20.3 package is broken > emacs 20.3 complains about > Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/20.3/leim' does > not exist. > and ediff is unusable: > Symbol's function definition is void: > ediff-convert-standard-filename Both of these are working fine here. Even though I build Emacs from source instead of the port, I don't see anywhere in the port (as of -current or 3.0-release) that should cause these problems. Was this message before or after installation? Do you have a copy of any ediff files in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp?
