I don't know if freebsd-current maillist sutable for my question but let me explain it. When I use freebsd-4, I can include any device in kernel or load it as module, and if there is no appropriate device in /dev I can use MAKEDEV script to create it. The common example is 'watch' utility which requires not only 'device snp' in kernel or 'kldload snp' but /dev/snp0 (snp1, etc) also for working, so I go to /dev and type ./MAKEDEV snp0. But FreeBSD5 is using devfs, and there is no MAKEDEV in it. I kldload snp but cat't see /dev/snp? created, and I don't know how to create it by hand. I was looking through snp, kldload, and watch manpages and freebsd maillist archive but cannot see anything about this. So how can I create appropriate device (snp0 actually) or which program should do this for me? ThanksReceived on Sun Dec 14 2003 - 18:27:23 UTC
