Hi,
Just a quick HEADS UP.... since the final bits of the block device
removal have gone in, it's now possible to dig yourself a hole if you
forget to MAKEDEV your disk devices (with the latest version of
MAKEDEV) and end up with a corrupt disk at boot.... fsck will fail
to set the device clean. You've then got to mount -f /, MAKEDEV your
disk devices, fsck them and then reboot.
