Maybe this has something to do with the bogus test for the end of
swdevt[] in i386/autoconf.c.  The array is terminated by device NODEV
but device 0 is tested for (the test for > 0 degenerates to == 0
because dev_t is unsigned).  Apparently there are usually 0's sufficiently
close to the end of swdevt[] for there to be no problems.
