Hey, I'm sorry to offend -really- but the handbook (www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL) states that -current is a technical mailing list for which strictly technical content is expected. Under -questions, it says not to post "how-to" questions to the technical lists. I felt my question was fairly straightforward and non-technical, I mainly wanted to know "how-to" change over the device names from 3.2 to 4.0. At your suggestion, however, I will redirect my question to -current. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
