can mount device

[el kalin]

hi all..

i need help with a weird thing that is happening...

i'm using netbsd on the amazon ec2 network. when i "attach" a volume to a
machine the dmesg sees it as xbd4 but there is no /dev/xbd4* of any kind an
i can't mount it.

what do i need to do to mount that device?


thanks...

NetBSD's installation only creates device nodes for "xbd0" to "xbd3"
by default. You can create more device nodes like this:

su
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV xbd4 xbd5 xbd6 xbd7

Kind regards
