U cant remount it on /dev while it is mounted in /tmp. Check what the securelevel ur kernel is running in and if u can boot in multiuser. Reset the kernel security level to -1 and do the same. It should be solved Subhro Sankha Kar IIIT-Calcutta To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
