Consider this setup sd0 sd0s1a sd0s1b sd0s1f sd0s1g sd0s2 sd0s3 sd0s4 I've done a ./MAKEDEV and to my horrow, sd0s1a,b,f,g dissapeared. I believe this is due to the 2.2.5-RELEASE MAKEDEV. BEFORE rebooting, do an ls to see if they dissappear. If so, simply do a ./MAKEDEV on sd0s1a and the rest will reappear. j.
