Hi,

I installed 3.0 the other day and am trying to "splice" together
a couple of disk drives. Unfortunately, the "splice" program requires
a /dev/splice file which does not exist. I assumed by adding the

pseudo-device sp 10 

line into the kernel configuration/rebuild this file would get built,
but no such luck. I run:

# splice -u 0 /dev/sd1c /dev/sd3c
splice: /dev/splice: No such file or directory

Anybody know how to create a /dev/splice file? I assume one needs to
run "mknod" and then "MAKEDEV" but I know not the correct major number
nor any of the other args.

Any help would be appreciated, as BSDI tech support is out for the
weekend.

TIA,
-Kevin
