Using r. 1.129 (IDE-only machine): most things work ok now for me
(mounting msdos floppy also doesn't panic), except: 

* I can't properly disklabel/newfs a floppy. What I'm doing is:
	disklabel -rw /dev/rfd0 fd1440
		(spits some error about ioctl ???LABEL)
	newfs /dev/rfd0a
		(spits some error about write-only fs [/dev ???])

* this was done by mistake, but I think this shouldn't be possible: I
mounted DEVFS on /dev manually several times, and all the entries were
showing up when I did 'mount', i.e.:

/dev/wd0s1a on / (local, writes: sync 1217 async 11307))
devfs on dummy_mount (local)
devfs on /dev (local, noexec, read-only)
/dev/wd0s1f on /usr (local, noatime, writes: sync 5 async 1137))
/dev/wd0s1e on /var (local, writes: sync 1429 async 11084))
procfs on /proc (local)
devfs on /dev (local)
devfs on /dev (local)
devfs on /dev (local)

Of course, when I did umount it said 'umount: /dev: Device busy'.
