>Description:
On an existing system, attempting to use /stand/sysinstall to configure a
second IDE drive errors out with
"MakeDev: Unknown major/minor for devtype -"
(a pain for me as I could never understand the documentation for the
command-line disklabel editor :-)
>How-To-Repeat:
Add second IDE drive (/dev/ad2)
/stand/sysinstall
[C]onfigure
[F]disk
select ad2
[C]reate slice
select default size
select default partition type (165)
[W]rite, select Yes I'm sure
[Q]uit
[S]tandard MBR
That bit works. Now:
[L]abel
[C]reate
accept default size
[F]S
choose a mount point, e.g. /v
[W]rite, select Yes I'm sure
produces the following error:
Doing newfs -b 16384 -f 2048 ...
MakeDev: Unknown major/minor for devtype -
