Hi,
I'd like to commit this change, but I don't know if it's correct.
AFAICT, because the minor() bit of a dev_t is only 8 bits, minors of >
256 are useless. They also break the -current DEVFS code in that you
end up with an increased major number (oops!) if you (for example)
pseudo-device tun 257
However, I haven't committed it because I don't know where things
like /dev/sd0s1 get their minors (0x00020002).
