<question id="where-is-makedev">
<para>What happened to
<filename>/dev/MAKEDEV</filename>?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>FreeBSD 5.X uses the &man.devfs.8 device-on-demand
system. Device drivers automatically create new device
nodes as they are needed, obsoleting
<filename>/dev/MAKEDEV</filename>.</para>
<para>If you are running FreeBSD 4.X or earlier and
<filename>/dev/MAKEDEV</filename> is missing, then you
really do have a problem. Grab a copy from the system
source code, probably in
<filename>/usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV</filename>.
