Thanks Dr. Blinn and Denise McCracken for the advice.
The issue turned out to be that the device special files /dev/ri*,
/dev/rri* need to be created while the /dev directory is indeed located
at /dev (meaning not /tmp/mnt/dev like I did when I was booted off of
CD).
The reason I couldn't issue the ./MAKEDEV while only having / mounted
was that the /bin directory was linked to /usr/bin. Also once I moved
/usr/bin to /bin I found that I needed some libraries in /usr/shlib.
After restoring those to / I was able to create the device files and
voila!

Subject: Booting 4.0g from a KZPCC device
Greetings Managers,
I'm trying to boot my DS20e 4.0g system off of a KZPCC device. When I
try to boot the genvmunix kernel in single-user mode and then issue a
bcheckrc to mount my other mount points I get a "No such device or
address" error. I've checked my /etc/fdmns and everything is correct
"root_domain is pointed to /dev/ri0a", "usr_domain is pointed to
/dev/ri0g" but no luck. I did issue the "./MAKEDEV ri0" -- although at
the time I had the drive temporarily mounted when I was booted off of CD
- I had to do this because I couldn't issue a MAKEDEV without /usr
mounted. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
