Hi,

You have done a blunder mistake.

try these things first

if (/dev files are removed)
then ( try building the kernel)

ifelse ( copy the /dev files from another same model system if you have and build the kernel)

ifelse ( restore the /dev from the backup if you have)

ifelse ( reinstall the OS is the only solution)

Is it V4 or V5?

With V4, you can boot from CD and then mount the root partition of the system disk. You should be able to recreate the device special files using the MAKEDEV command. Start with "MAKEDEV std", I think, and then add the other devices.

On V5 things are a bit more complicated. If you remove the hardware database too ("dn_setup -clean" may help) it will probably recreate everything on the next boot. All your disk device names may have changed after this.

If you're in a V5 cluster, you need a lot more help...

If this doesn't do the trick, the only course of action is to restore the files from backup or re-install.
