Hi, I'm having a problem with devfs in 6-current.  I used to use
FreeBSD about 7-8 years ago, but since then I've been using Linux, and
got back to freebsd these days, and found MAKEDEV has gone!!  I was
astonished to see major nodes of all devices are 12!!   Neither "man
devfs" nor "info devfs" give me good info.  I cannot find good info in
/usr/share/doc either.

My question is simple: how to make nodes in /dev for ad1
slice/partitions?   I don't know major/minor numbers, or usage of
devfs.  I googled for usage of devfs, but it's too new for me to find
the proper usage....even in FreeBSD Handbook.

Will anyone give me a proper direction or resource?


Thanks in advance..
