I'm just not sure what else to try. After inspecting /dev a bit more thoroughly, I also found that after a ./MAKEDEV all, everything is updated to the current date except for all of the ad4 entries, and the ad5 entry. These remain dated May 8 2001. The MAKEDEV has been run normally, and from single-user. Seeing as how there was apparently an ATA update in March of 2002.. Is there a way I can safely remove and rebuild those entries? Or is this even related at all? I'm grasping at straws, I know. Thanks for your help.
