To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I got through 'make world' and copied/merged /etc files, remade devices with sh MAKEDEV all, but apparently forgot to remake some old devices. When I reboot I get /dev/wd0s1f: no such file or directory can't stat /dev/wd0s1f It puts me into single user mode. Running fsck there just gives similar messages. If I cd to /dev and try to make this sh MAKEDEV wd0s1 I get rm: wd0s1: read only file system rm: rwd0s1: read only file system mknod: wd0s1: file exists mknod: rwd0s1: file exists A sample of ls -l shows my old slices standing out. For example: brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 24 Sep 24 17:50 wd3a looks pretty normal, but brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020012 Sep 24 17:50 wd0s1 seems weird. Can anyone help me? I've been trying to install -current for a week. Thanks. Greg
