>Description:
The copy of MAKEDEV on the fixit floppy should not reset its
$PATH. If it does, it won't be able to find the needed executables
on the fixit floppy, such as expr. The release/Makefile attempts
to edit MAKEDEV to prevent it from setting $PATH, but some formatting
changes to MAKEDEV now prevent the editing from being successful.
