OK, I've configured, built and run a kernel with the vn driver, but my
'make release' still craps out in the same place.   I seem to have all
sorts of /dev/vn0*, so doesn't seem to be the reason.  What else could
I need to do?  Here's the end of the make output:

   # make the small bootfd
   Making the small 4MB boot floppy.
   sh -e /usr/src/release/doFS.sh /R/stage /mnt 1200 /R/stage/mfsfd  42000 minimum
   open: Device not configured
   *** Error code 1 (continuing)
   rm -rf /R/stage/fixitfd
   mkdir /R/stage/fixitfd
   cd /R/stage/fixitfd &&  mkdir dev stand bin sbin etc mnt mnt1 mnt2 mnt3 mnt4 tmp
   if true ; then  gzip -9 < /R/stage/crunch/fixit > /R/stage/fixitfd/stand/fixit_crunch ;  else  ln -f /R/stage/crunch/fixit /R/stage/fixitfd/stand/fixit_crunch ;  fi
   chmod 555 /R/stage/fixitfd/stand/fixit_crunch
   for i in `crunchgen -l /usr/src/release/fixit_crunch.conf` ; do  ln -f /R/stage/fixitfd/stand/fixit_crunch /R/stage/fixitfd/stand/$i ;  done
   ( cd /R/stage/fixitfd/dev &&  cp /R/stage/trees/bin/dev/MAKEDEV . &&  sh MAKEDEV all )
   cp /R/stage/trees/bin/etc/spwd.db /R/stage/fixitfd/etc
   cp /usr/src/release/fixit.profile /R/stage/fixitfd/.profile
   sh -e /usr/src/release/doFS.sh /R/stage /mnt 1200 /R/stage/fixitfd  10000 fd1200

   + echo make release Finished
   make release Finished

This is all the more fun because I can't just cd to the directory and
try it out again.  Every attempt takes 15 hours to die in the same
place.
