etc MAKEDEV
Log:
Do not create bdev nodes anymore. Instead create cdev nodes with the
same names:
rover# ls -l /dev/*wd0a
crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 0 Nov 26 20:20 /dev/rwd0a
crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 0 Nov 26 20:20 /dev/wd0a
Notice: Over time, no earlier than FreeBSD 5.0, the "r*" names may
be discontinued. A fair number of programs and scripts need to
(un)learn some tricks before then.
This will take no effect until you either run MAKEDEV by hand or
reinstall your system.
WARNING: Kernels older than approx November 22 will not be happy
about a /dev created with MAKEDEV after this commit. Please update
your /kernel.good etc.
