I got 2.6.0-test10 to finally boot fully by adding the devices i needed to /etc/devfs/devices.d/ Otherwise, the only device created (with regards to /dev/rd) was /dev/rd/host0/targetx/ (x being 0-31) ...interesting... now that i look at it, target0 is a dir with disc0, psrt1, and part2 under it, with the correct major/minor numbers. And target1 also has the proper devices under it. Well, I never saw anything like that in any documentation...I thought I RTFM! Mike
p.s. - BTW, I ran into a compiler error when I tried test11 - I can't remember the eact error.
