>Description:

	The usual /dev/ad8e and the devfs /devs/rad8e are supposed to be
	the same. Major number is 116, minor -- 68. The drive is "dangerously
	allocated".


	The /dev/ad8e can be used properly and houses my /home partition.
	However, attempts to use /devs/rad8e, even for something as minor
	as ``tunefs -n enable /devs/rad8e'' causes an instant panic.

	May be, someone will address the naming problem in devfs too :)

	Ultimately, I'd like to be able to mount devfs as /dev, so I can
	mount the / as read-only.

>How-To-Repeat:

	See description.
