mknod error when pkgadd of SUNWqfed - device is not created

user4485593Feb 7 2008 — edited Feb 8 2008

I am trying to install a second quad FE card in a sparcstation 20. There is a quad ethernet card in there right now, which is live.

I ran the pkgadd command to install the SUNWqfed and SUNWqfedu packages. When the SUNWqfed package was being installed I noticed an error

Executing postinstall script
Usage: mknod name [b/c major/minor] [p] failed Postinstall script did not complete successfully.

I uninstalled the package and tried it again but it still failed, and I tried another downloaded copy of the packages with the same error. I also saw that the path_to_install file did not have the entries for the qfe card.

Any idea how I can fix this and install the card?

Thank you
