Afaik, anyone tracking -current either knows to do this or uses a tool (like mergemaster) that does it for you (I know I do ;-) Installing MAKEDEV also won't solve these problems from what I understand unless the disk devices are re-made. Is it acceptable for MAKEDEV to be installed into /dev (at some stage of the make world, rebuild kernel and install process) and have it re-make at least the disk devices contained in /etc/fstab and /etc/amd.conf ? --- Khetan Gajjar (!kg1779) * khetan@iafrica.com ; khetan@os.org.za http://www.os.org.za/~khetan * Talk/Finger khetan@chain.freebsd.os.org.za FreeBSD enthusiast * http://www2.za.freebsd.org/ Stupidest quote heard : Who is this BSD, and why should we free him ?
