Nebolsin) Hello, after huge crash when I have tried to mount dos partition over 512Mb on FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE, my /dev/wd0a file was corrupted and now I cannot boot from my first disk (wd0a is my root patrition): $ls -al /dev/wd0* brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 65538 Aug 26 02:06 wd0 crw-r----- 2 root operator 3, 196618 Aug 26 15:54 wd0a ^ brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 1 Aug 26 02:06 wd0b brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 2 Aug 26 02:06 wd0c brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 3 Aug 26 02:06 wd0d brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 4 Aug 26 02:06 wd0e brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 5 Aug 26 02:06 wd0f brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 6 Aug 26 02:06 wd0g brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 7 Aug 26 02:06 wd0h I've noticed "c" flag instead "b" in type definition of the file, maybe there's a problem? The question is how to restore my original /dev/wd0a file type "block special file"? Sincerely, Vlad.
