I'm trying to attempt a "fake" install with 2.2.2-RELEASE. I have a spare disk that I disklabeled and created file systems on with newfs, and then mounted up on a mount point. While running on my V2.1 disk, I downloaded the OS from ftp.freebsd.org and then extracted 2.2.2-RELEASE down to the mount point. I created a valid etc/fstab under the root mount point for 2.2.2, but I am unable to use MAKEDEV to create the devices I need. The 2.2.2 /dev directory comes pre-built with sd0 sd1 sd2 sd3, but I need sd5. Attempts to make the device under the 2.2.2 mount point return the following error from the scsictl variable in MAKEDEV. ./MAKEDEV: arithmetic expression: syntax error: "1 << 29" Is this a compatability problem running 2.2.2 MAKEDEV under 2.1? I notice MAKEDEV has changed considerably between versions. Are there any other pre or post install tasks the install performs that need to be performed? Thanks for any help. Jon --
