I am looking for some clarification. The instructions almost look like a shell script, but I am assuming it is just pseudocode. Is it possible to simply run the following command to rebuild the disk /dev/entries? sh MAKEDEV all If not, can I limit the rebuild only the disks and slices that I am using? I currently have a SCSI (da) and an IDE drive (wd). (I believe cvsup will be done shortly.)
