Don's information on using dp is accurate, however, some people might find it easier to just recreate the device nodes for slice 3 (as has been posted here ad nauseum, the absence of these nodes is due to a bug in the installation program for 2.0 for which I and Apple apologize again) % ls -l /dev/rdsk/c0d0s? crw------- 1 bin bin 24, 0 Oct 27 03:31 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 crw------- 1 bin bin 24, 1 Oct 27 03:31 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s1 crw------- 1 bin bin 24, 2 Oct 27 03:31 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s2 crw------- 1 bin bin 24, 4 Oct 27 03:31 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s4 crw------- 1 bin bin 24, 5 Oct 27 03:31 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s5 crw------- 1 bin bin 24, 6 Oct 27 03:31 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s6 crw------- 1 root sys 24, 7 Nov 21 14:33 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s7 Note that all disks have two numbers: the major number (24 here) is 24 + SCSI ID so SCSI 1 has major number 25, etc, up through SCSI ID 6 (major number 30) The minor number is the slice number. Minor number 3 (slice 3) is missing. Use the mknod command to create the file; the syntax is mknod filename type major minor The tupe is b for /dev/dsk files, c for /dev/rdsk files: % su root Password: # mknod /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 b 24 3 # mknod /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3 c 24 3 (Use the apprpriate SCSI ID in the name, and appropriate major number) Now, when you use newfs newfs /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 Generic the partition will be hooked up/found.
