Please try to do 'cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV io' and try again. If that
doesn't work try to load the GENERIC kernel. If that doesn't work
try the following
I don't know what situation you are in (i.e. fresh FreeBSD install or
updated the source with CVS) but i'm asumming you _dont_ installed the
world just a few days ago.
I've had similair problemens in the past. I've updated my source tree
and used 'portupgrade' (its in the port collection) to update out
only cetain packages, when i sould have done all related packages of
XFree86-4 and/or KDE, GNOME, ect. I found this often solves problem
for me.
To do this you could give the command: 'portupgrade -Rf XFree86-4' or
any other port. If you don't have this port insalled look in
/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade.
