How do I bring back /dev/fw0 without re-installing on Solaris?
Answer


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure /etc/devlink.tab contains:


type=ddi_pseudo;name=fw fwA0
If it's there, try:

/usr/sbin/devlinks
If that doesn't work, run the following commands:

rm -f /usr/kernel/drv/fw /usr/kernel/drv/fw.conf
ln -s $FWDIR/modules/fwmod.5.x.o /usr/kernel/drv/fw
ln -s $FWDIR/modules/fw.conf /usr/kernel/drv/fw.conf
/usr/sbin/add_drv fw
/usr/sbin/devlinks
On HP/UX (and possibly other Unix-like OSes), you can recreate it as follows (thanks to Victor Lamptey):

mknod /dev/fw0 c 129 0
chmod 644 /dev/fw0
chown root /dev/fw0
chgrp sys /dev/fw0
