I'm not sure how, > if so. Yes, you need to make device nodes. Try: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV ad5s1c Or s1a, or whatever you were using. The reason ad0 turned into ad5 is that ata disk devices are now numbered statically instead of dynamically. This is a good thing. While it does mean that your drives move when you upgrade the OS this one time, it also means that they won't move when you add a drive to the system. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
