you can mount devfs as many times as your system can handle it all over the place.

No, can you mout devfs in a virtual root created by chroot? I know the devfs
is mounted on the real root, but when i chroot to the /mnt of my old drive
the /dev directory is empty with null-can I re-mount in there?

did you mount the devfs?

Hi Guys, here's the scenario:

1. Had FreeBSD 5.1 system running.
2. Did a cvsup get of stable (that's right, stable, so 4.9) 3. Compiled make buildworld, then did a make build world, and re-compiled with generic kernel 4. Booted into a system which could not mount the file system (expected since its 4.9)


So now I am trying to save the system and here's where I've gotten to:

1. Booted disc 2 of 5.1 cd into "fixme" mode.
2. Mounted live cdrom filesystem and then mounted my root drive to /mnt 3. Did a chroot to /mnt so that I would emulate my live system environment 4. Re-did a cvsup of the branch current.
5. Ran make buildworld from /usr/src


Here is what happens when I do that:

"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator "/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator "/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator "/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator "/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator "/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator "/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue "/usr/src/Makefile.inc1", line 156: warning:

*** Error code 1


Help!
