It should be tty00 (that's what it was in the previous version of FreeBSD I used). BUT, I issue the following command: sh MAKEDEV tty00 It returns the error: "tty00 - device not found" I am logging in as root, and even using a "umask 022". What the hell can I do?? It just won't make it. Not even tty01 or the modem decives cua00 or anything! HELP! John
