Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to make sd40 and sd41, and MAKEDEV is failing. Now I could fix MAKEDEV to not kick it out as an error, but there must be a reason that it's not allowed. (I'm using wired devices on a 3940UW and 2940's, which allows a total of 40 some odd devices to be attached.) Is there some bogus kernel limit? (Or unbogus as the case may be?)
