I have added a new disk (wd0) to my existing FreeBSD (wd1) system. The new disk has another bootable Freebsd installation (for backup purposes) with 4 partitions. I can see the NEW root as /dev/wd0a and I can mount it to my existing system. However, I am missing all the other device files of the other new partitions which I would really need. How can I create the missing device files ( /dev/wd0s1e and /dev/wd0s1f) manually (not with sysinstall!) ? Should I use MAKEDEV or mknod, or how can I make FreeBSD see those new partitions correctly? Kind Regards, Marlen marlen@xs4all.nl
