Ok, I kind of worked myself into a corner by only bringing a USB
keyboard and accidentally making logins impossible via the network (bad
firewall setup with IPFilter).

Basically I have a disk with FreeBSD 7-CURRENT on it and I have a
working machine with FreeBSD 6.2 on it, and I need to build a kernel for
the FreeBSD 7-CURRENT machine so I can get it back up and running with
USB keyboard support and disable IPFilter.

- -Is there a means to properly mount psuedofilesystems (/dev is giving me
problems since it isn't mounted), so I can run chroot and ( build /
install ) a new ( kernel / system ) with little problem?

- -Or can I specify some extra variables to make in the ( build / install
) process to maybe get it to work outside of a chroot?

Thanks,
- -Garrett
