Yes. This behaviour is mentioned in FAQ 14 (14.10.1 - Installing to a mirror) which states: "The install kernel only has the /dev entries for one wd(4) device and one sd(4) device on boot, so you will need to manually create more disk devices if your desired softraid setup requires them. This process is normally done automatically by the installer, but you haven't yet run the installer, and you will be adding a disk that didn't exist at boot." Have a look at: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#softraidDI Regards, Erling > I've been following this habit for years, and did not see anyone offer the > advice in this thread. > > Basically: > > cd /dev > sh MAKEDEV sd1 > > > > On Sun, Apr 17, 2016 at 2:04 PM, Sean Howard <sil...@callysto.com> wrote: > > > J o l > > > > Sent from my Phone. > > Original Message > > From: Predrag Punosevap > > > > Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2016 09:11 > > To: erling.westen...@gmail.com > > Cc: misc@openbsd.org > > Subject: Re: Upgrade to 5.m.
