MAKEDEV syntax means that you use |the number of devices. If you want to create cd0 and cd1's stuff, you |must MAKEDEV cd2 (ie, 2 devices). Ok, that works, but it seems odd. And it appears it isn't applied across the board. For example, when I needed to make my hard drive slice partitions, I needed to explicitly specify the hard drive, slice, and partition to get them. For example: stealth : /dev # rm wd4s1* stealth : /dev # sh MAKEDEV wd4 stealth : /dev # ls -l wd4s1* brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020022 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1 stealth : /dev # sh MAKEDEV wd4s1 stealth : /dev # ls -l wd4s1* brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020022 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1 stealth : /dev # sh MAKEDEV wd4s1e stealth : /dev # ls -l wd4s1* brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020022 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020020 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1a brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020021 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1b brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020022 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1c brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020023 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1d brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020024 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1e brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020025 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1f brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020026 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1g brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020027 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1h wd4s1e is what I need in this case. If it followed the convention, I'd think a "sh MAKEDEV wd4" would make all possible permutations of all drive/partition/slice for wd0,wd1,wd2,& wd3. |I'll investigate this. I'm not sure about the ediff; the leim I |suspect may be a bug in pkg_add.
