Don't try to make rcd1, cd1c, etc, using MAKEDEV.  Use only the basic
device name, and MAKEDEV will create all the raw devices and slices
that are needed.
  stealth : /dev # ./MAKEDEV cd1

The CAM stuff is handled in async parallel.

If you want them to.  It'll probably be semi-trivial to make this
happen.

I'm considering making a change so that cd's are not probed for size.

Interesting.  There is still a rtld.1 in the source tree; I'm suprised
it doesn't get installed.

Both of these are working fine here.  Even though I build Emacs from
source instead of the port, I don't see anywhere in the port (as of
-current or 3.0-release) that should cause these problems.  Was this
message before or after installation?  Do you have a copy of any ediff
files in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp?

Happy hacking,
