Aha, I think we've got it:

ls -l /dev/MAKEDEV says:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  28101 Nov 16  1995 /dev/MAKEDEV

Still there from the original installation on this drive of
2.1.....I've updated /etc after make worlds but it never
occured to me to copy /etc/etc.i386/MAKEDEV to /dev/MAKEDEV.

So I did that and now I've got sysmouse and consolectl in
/dev--the old MAKEDEV didn't have the lines you quote above.

Thanks very much!
