I'm no devfs expert (or even comfortable with it) but I'm willing to give this a shot (since I am running it on one machine and need experience troubleshooting anyways). What does the /etc/devfs/conf.d directory look like for files and their contents? I have stuff like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/devfs/conf.d$ cat alsa # device permissions for ALSA sound devices. REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 0660 Does your stuff look like that? There is also this line in the devfsd.conf file: # Include package-generated files from /etc/devfs/conf.d OPTIONAL_INCLUDE /etc/devfs/conf.d Perhaps this can get the ball rolling. I'm pretty sure this isn't the problem for you but it gives me a place to start hunting for answers. I guessing it's something to do with your config files only appearing after the system is up but I'm starting at the basics. --mike
