Hello all!

I need some info on the 386/BSD Unix package for a friend of mine.  He
has just instaled the package on his machine and for some reason he has
no printer devices in /dev.  Can some please provide the necessary major
and minor numers so that he can do a "mknod".  The manifest file which
came with this package mentions /dev/lp* - Is there any reason why these
devices are not already setup in /dev?

Also is there a FAQ file on a FTP site some where for 386/BSD?  I'd like
to read this before asking my own questions!
