Mine looks like this:

Do you know how it got all messed up and where wd0g/h went?

I mounted /kern using {mount -A} and aparently fixed my drive.

My only problem now is that a bunch of files were marked as bad...including
makedev.LOCAL (not sure if thats the right name...)


Can I type 'makedev' or something to remake all devices?

Thanks,
Grant
