Dear Jason,
I think I was right about devfs being a new line in fstab!
This may have allowed my laptop to stay 5.0; unfortunately, I had
to regress it to 4.7 to get it to work again.
The new line is:
devfs /dev devfs rw 0 0
according to man devfs, posted at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=devfs&sektion=5&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE
The man page does not say "Put this line into /etc/fstab", but
it looks like an fstab line to me.
If this is correct, I wish they would put this information into
UPDATING.
I wonder if it is harmless to have the line in /etc/fstab
while running FreeBSD 4.7.
