This still exists in 4.7 -- this makes atacontrol unavailable, as well as is an issue with systems with multiple ata controllers (onboard ATA Raid)... MAKEDEV should be symlinked to /dist/dev/MAKEDEV on the fixit CD /etc/group should contain the operator group so makedev can make its devices The ata ar0 ar1 ad2 ad3 ad4 ad5 ad6 devices should also exist. Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->re Enhancement request for fixit CD Responsible Changed From-To: re->freebsd-qa Reassign to qa per re request State Changed From-To: open->closed The MAKEDEV script is obsolete, since entries in /dev are created dynamically using DEVFS in FreeBSD 5.x and higher. |
Fix: I could create devices on the fly with MAKEDEV, IIF - There is a symlink from /dev/MAKEDEV (mfsroot.flp) to /mnt2/dev/MAKEDEV (fixit.flp, maybe cdrom) (Reason: MAKEDEV is recursive and must be run from /dev) - There is a symlink from /etc/group (mfsroot.flp) to /mnt2/etc/group (fixit.flp, maybe cdrom) (Reason: MAKEDEV uses group names, not group numbers) How-To-Repeat: Boot freebsd from install floppies. Fdisk it to use dangerously dedicated mode Mount fixit. Mount cdrom with backup images Run disklabel - Device is not configured /dev does not contain all devices needed, so, no disklabel, no restore
