~ $ mount /dev/wd0a on / type ffs (local, softdep) /dev/wd0h on /home type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid, softdep) /dev/wd0e on /tmp type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid, softdep) /dev/wd0d on /usr type ffs (local, nodev, softdep) /dev/wd0f on /var type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid, softdep) /dev/wd0o on /open type ffs (local, softdep) Any possibility your FSs are mounted like mine are? There are only two places above where I could drop a /dev directory, and that would be wd0a and wd0o... Nick.
