The following reply was made to PR bin/7300; it has been noted by GNATS.

Right and right. It was deliberate designed this way. tar(1) is the canonical format and running /dev/MAKEDEV fixes the only problem and is necessary anyway to cater for disk configurations. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
