Hi,

I notice the MAKEDEV procedure changed a lot.
Normally i copied the MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV.local to a new dir
and did a sh ./MAKEDEV all to make new devices.
So nowadays i go to src/etc and do there make MAKEDEV.
This creates a nice MAKEDEV, after this a make a new dir, copy the MAKEDEV 
and MAKEDEV.local in it and make the devices with sh ./MAKEDEV all
After this go to single user mode and replace the /dev dir.
Is this the correct procedure or not am i forgetting things here?

Second question, i download the snapshot from july 15 and run this on a 
machine. (works very fine though, supports my new nics and with ipf/ipnat, 
it's doing a nice job, didnt notice trouble yet, its running two weeks 
without downtime or trouble). Anyway, pfctl is in there so i hoped to try 
pf on netbsd besides ipf. There is also a sample pf.conf in the /etc.
However, something must have gone wrong during install, cause i dont have 
a /dev/pf. I downloaded the 2.0 source and made news devices as described 
above. However, still no pf in /dev, (maybe cause pf is not yet in 2.0 but 
only in current)? Also i get /dev/ttyE{1,..,3} not configured.
Dont know why this occured, another reason why i wished to make new devs.
I changed /etc/ttys to have vt220 at console instead of vt100. Thats the 
only change i made to it. Any other hints?
Bye,

Mipam.
