Modified files:
usr.sbin/sysinstall dist.c
Log:
Once upon a time, DEVFS was optional, major numbers where static, and /dev
needed to be statically populated with device nodes. The first two are no
longer true, which makes the third pretty moot. In fact, we don't seem to
put device node bits into the distribution archives at all anymore.
So..... remove the god-aweful nasty hack that force unmounted devfs during
installation so that static device nodes could land in /dev. Now that the
vnode cleaner handles this case better this isn't strictly needed, but
axeing code in sysinstall is almost always benficial. Thanks to Don Lewis
for pointing out this attribute of sysinstall.
