    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.
