[steven r. eastlake]

i am setting up freebsd 5.0 and would like to attempt to "wake up" my 
generic sound
card and also wacom usb tablet mouse/pen

1. MAKEDEV not in /dev and not executable, found in /usr/src/etc, move to /,
     cannot move to /dev, then permission executable
2. MAKEDEV fails numerous ways attempting snd and uhid, review online dialogs
     for these failures and try to correct my problems to no avail
3. attempt mknod sndstat c 30 6 root:operator gives "no such file or 
directory", an error
     message i have seen previously

i suspect this may be an easy fix for those with knowledge...

following are setenv, dmesg, which may help...

thanks for support...
