It is possible to "upgrade" a mounted file system from read-only to read-write using the -u flag to mount. The appropriate command (on our system) would be (if I remember correctly) ... # mount -u /dev/ra0b / I believe this is misdocumented somewhere in the installation instructions. You can then proceed with "normal" MAKEDEV calls, etc... ... OK, so it doesn't make it much easier, but if you haven't got too many spare partitions lying around ... :-) --James
