Hi again, I've been continuing my fiddling around to see if I could solve the problem. Having inspected /mnt/dev/MAKEDEV, I found that it didn't seem to have the ability to create the ofwcons device node, so I manually created it with: # cd /mnt/dev # mknod ofwcons c 97 0 root:tty and then booted from the disk. I had the same error as before. It then occured to me that getty itself might not be found. I booted from CD again, mounted up my disk partitions under /mnt, looked in /mnt/usr and found no files or subdirectories at all. I then unmounted /dev/ad0f from /mnt/usr and hey presto!, all my files appeared. Now, when I originally extracted the distrib tar file into /mnt, I am 100% certain that I had mounted /dev/ad0e and ad0f at /mnt/var and /mnt/usr respectively, so I am at a loss to explain why the files ended up in subdirectories of my root partition instead of in their own partitions. Oh well. Better get those files moved. Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
