|Sorry, I omitted one minor detail. MAKEDEV syntax means that you use
|the number of devices. If you want to create cd0 and cd1's stuff, you
|must MAKEDEV cd2 (ie, 2 devices).
Ok, that works, but it seems odd. And it appears it isn't applied across
the board. For example, when I needed to make my hard drive slice
partitions, I needed to explicitly specify the hard drive, slice, and
partition to get them. For example:
stealth : /dev # rm wd4s1*
stealth : /dev # sh MAKEDEV wd4
stealth : /dev # ls -l wd4s1*
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020022 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1
stealth : /dev # sh MAKEDEV wd4s1
stealth : /dev # ls -l wd4s1*
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020022 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1
stealth : /dev # sh MAKEDEV wd4s1e
stealth : /dev # ls -l wd4s1*
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020022 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020020 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1a
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020021 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1b
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020022 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1c
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020023 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1d
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020024 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1e
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020025 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1f
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020026 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1g
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0x00020027 Nov 22 13:43 wd4s1h
wd4s1e is what I need in this case.
If it followed the convention, I'd think a "sh MAKEDEV wd4" would make all
possible permutations of all drive/partition/slice for wd0,wd1,wd2,& wd3.
|I'll investigate this. I'm not sure about the ediff; the leim I
|suspect may be a bug in pkg_add.
Thanks,
Randall
