Ok, whats the story with this new devfs? Last night, I was working on getting mplyer to play a dvd, and I created a couple symbolic links.

ln -s /dev/ascd0 /dev/dvd etc...

After a reboot, the links dissappear. How do you get these things to stay? :?

*edit* BTW, the man page for the devfs sucks, its like 2 lines long.

How about /etc/devfs.conf ?

I don't have a 5.1 box, but i do see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/devfs.conf

yeppers.. just edit the conf.. syntax is easy to follow..

devfs rules though.. especially being able to set rules and stuff..

[bsdjunkie]

Allow users to configure stuff in /dev once again by re-doing the devfs
script to read /etc/devfs.conf, and take appropriate actions based on
what it finds there.

Hmm, this looks like what i need ;)

Im so used to openbsd, this is a new experience again. I havnt seriously looked at fbsd since the 3.x branch.

there's been a lot of headway since then.. i only started using bsd on 4.5 but the changes since then have been amazing..

Well, that killed 2 bird with one stone. I was going to ask the same question for the exact same reason. Thanx. :D
