I appologize for being so dense. sorry. do this to the fixit disk: # cd /dev # mknod wd0s2a b 0 0x00030000 ( I do not have a fixit disk handy, so I can't look and see, but if the fixit disk has the file /etc/MAKEDEV, then all you have to do is: # MAKEDEV wd0s2a and it will issue the above command for you. ) --mark.
