Personally, I think this is a needed enhancement for MAKEDEV. IMHO, it violates the POLA that a "MAKEDEV all" doesn't make _all_ the necessary devices to run one's system. (_I_ keep forgetting, since it's usually at least months between one system install and another, and always end up having to go back and do a "MAKEDEV da0s1a" or whatever, usually in single-user mode when the system refused to mount filesystems because of missing /dev entries. Sigh.) Or at the very _least_, "MAKEDEV da1" should make the slice devs too. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
