I don't have access to my freebsd-stable mailbox so I don't know if this
has already been posted.  When running mergemaster after rebuilding
FreeBSD I received the following error:

*** You installed a new /dev/MAKEDEV script, so make sure that you run
    'cd /dev && /bin/sh MAKEDEV all' to rebuild your devices

    Would you like to run it now? y or n [n] y
    Running cd /dev && /bin/sh MAKEDEV all

MAKEDEV: arith: syntax error:

As a quick fix you can prevent this error by commenting out the following
line from MAKEDEV

	sh MAKEDEV zs0 # big-Alpha serial tty

The "MAKEDEV all" command then works without the error.
