Hi there, Let me start from the beginning so I won't confuse anybody hopefully :-). I was trying to configure my Kernel in a FreeBSD 3.2 and I get can't configure devices.i386 see the original message below. Thanx to Alfred and others who suggested that I did hosed up my sources because way back I was trying to cvsup and apparently the source got all screwed up and never did make world successfully. no problem, I cvsupped again things went fine. then did make world got error messages that it did not know how to make something (I wish I wrote it down) about crypt** so I changed to that directory edited the Makefile and built it by hand. then ran makeworld again during the process my terminal froze up ( I guess I should not do such a major thing remotely) when I came this morning I had the following message at the console acd0:read_toc failed. I could not even turn the power off that was kind of scary then I just simply unplugged the power chord plugged it back in. tried to login did not accept the password for root OK tried my regular account did not take that either so I decided to reboot in a single user mode and change the root password but it does not go to a single user mode every time I type boot -s it says no boot then when I type -s only it apparently boots in a multi-user mode. so I'm stuck there? Any help or suggestions are welcomed even if I had to reinstall FreeBSD but I'm still insisting on getting make world to work so I will probably re-install 3.2 then do the cvsup and make world thing till I get it right. :-) -- Majid Almassari, MSEE, MCP.
