Hello, Due to my impatience, I purged the old "base"-package after upgrading to 1.3 (it was listed as "obsolete" in dselect) without looking at it's contents first :-(
Unfortunately, it contained all(?) device files in /dev; as a result, the machine didn't boot anymore since it was "unable to open an initial console". Booting from rescue disk, mounting the harddrive to /target and extracting the previously (on a different machine) generated tar file containing the device-files solved the problem, but: /dev/printer still doesn't exist. Calling "MAKEDEV printer" only gives me "MAKEDEV: out of space for devices". HOW can I re-create this socket?? (I would like to be able to print some urgent and important files, but without /dev/printer.....) Any help appreciated (REALLY!!!)
