A change went in that required the slice designator in the fstab, and there was a corresponding change (can't rememebr when) to the MAKEDEV. This all happened a while back. I can't rememebr exactly how it was supposed to be fixed, but there were strange incantations involved. Basically, someone decided that, for no good reason, it should be required to draw the circle before drawing the pentagram in it, instead of voce versa. > WTF? Any help, or should I just clean the system and start over? There's a way to do it, I just don't rememebr it very well; check the -current list archives for full details.
