This is already reported as Bug#126668. May I close this duplicate? I promise to tell you when it's fixed. Anyway, I fail to see why would you want to "cp -a /dev" on kfreebsd-i386, which has devfs. I have this as one of my boot scripts: #!/bin/sh root=/chroot-unstable mount_linprocfs proc $root/proc mount_devfs devfs $root/dev I suspect there should be a way to do the same using /etc/fstab but didn't have the time to ask you :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
