I'm sure you know this already, but I just want to reiterate.  I have
done a make world on Fridays and Saturday's Freebsd 5.0-CURRENT.  I did
a cvsup in the "wee" hours in the morning.  I then did make world in
/usr/src to rebuild the system, rebuild kernel, and mergemaster -sv. 
The system should be clean.  Correct me if I am wrong.  If I put "option
DEVFS" in my kernel , build/install that kernel, my computer will not
bot up completely.  I will have to enter single user with an errr
message stating "/dev: no such file or directory"  Mounting of fstab
filesystems fails.  press enter for /bin/sh


My /dev directory exists.  Once I rebuild the kernel with no DEVFS it
all works, but I like devfs as it makes all the device files that i need
for my sound card as an example.
