Shipper" cc: "'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG'" In-Reply-To: <01BD5581.28F35620@CHADO2> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Try the MAKEDEV script file in the /dev dir, or mknod (sp?) I used it to create a device for my extended dos partition. I have a 1.2 Gig drive, partitioned into a 250 MB dos partition, a 250 MB FREEBSD partition, and a 750MB Dos partition. I originally had 5 250MB dos partitions before FreeBSD.. I backed everything up, deleted all but the c drive, installed Freebsd with a 250 MB partition, than created an Extended dos partition with the rest. FreeBSD just didn't see the extended partition. I booted with verbose messages, and saw that it was seeing the extended partition as wd0s5, but that wasn't in the dev dir. it only went up to wd0s4. I used mknod (I think thats the correct spelling) to create wd0s4, and it worked fine. Robert Jackson d055633c@dc.seflin.org On Sun, 22 Mar 1998, Jeff E.
