You misunderstood. Here's the example again from jail(8). D=/here/is/the/jail cd /usr/src mkdir -p $D make world DESTDIR=$D cd etc make distribution DESTDIR=$D cd $D/dev sh MAKEDEV jail cd $D ln -sf dev/null kernel My /usr/src is FreeBSD 5.0. I need a 4.7 environment. I cannot do steps 2 and 4-8. I did mkdir /usr/jail mdconfig -a -t vnode -f 4.7-disc2.iso -u 0 mount /dev/md0 /mnt cp -pR /mnt/bin /usr/jail cp -pR /mnt/sbin /usr/jail cp -pR /mnt/usr /usr/jail cp -pR /mnt/etc /usr/jail cp -pR /mnt/var /usr/jail mkdir /usr/jail/dev mount -t devfs / /usr/jail/dev cd /usr/jail ln -sf dev/null kernel I'm now ready to configure the jail for my proposes. What I could not determine from jail(8) was how to set up /usr/jail/dev. You gave me the pointer to setting up devfs. For my application, I need jail/dev/{null,stdin,stdout, stderr}, gcc 2.9.4, whatever version of binutils is used on 4.7, and /usr/lib/lib{c,m}.so.X and libgcc.a -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
