However, I tried the following in an attempt to recreated but I am getting stumped at the end of the process. Booted the system in single user mode, then created a read/writable file system with: mount_mfs -T minimum -s 131072 /dev/null /tmp cd to /tmp and cp MAKEDEV from the read only /dev.MAKEDEV created a device node with: /MAKEDEV ad0s2a (note this created the whole tree in tmp) attempted to mount this with the command mount /tmp/ad0s2a /mnt but got the error that ad0s2a was busy. As a result cannot get a readwritable /dev to create the device nodes. What am I doing wrong??
