No. But it's getting weird. I tried mounting a straight data disc - the |
| 14 |
gentoo package one - and it mounted fine. So, I thought maybe the problem |
| 15 |
was just with bootable discs. Trying file -s, the system froze. I |
| 16 |
rebooted. Now, I have no /dev/hdc at all and lost /dev/dsp, too. So, |
| 17 |
something's wrong with udev. It seems my entire system is crumbling. I'd |
| 18 |
commit the heresy of reinstalling if I could boot off a CD. |
