In a few days I will commit a patch which changes vn(4) to use the
disk-minilayer. This will make vn(4) fully DEVFS friendly but have
the side effect that vnconfig needs the vn%d.ctl devices to be able
to configure vn(4).
Please remake your /dev/vn entries with this revision of MAKEDEV if
you don't rung DEVFS already.
overwriting $PATH, and find mknod $PATH instead of hardcoding /sbin so
that the copy of MAKEDEV on the fixit floppy is usable, since mknod and
expr live in /mnt2/stand when the fixit floppy is running.
Get rid of the sed invokation in release/Makefile that attempts to
delete the PATH setting stuff from MAKEDEV on the fixit floppy. This
hasn't worked since a long ago change to MAKEDEV caused the sed
expression to no longer match.

make_dev() call.
At the moment, it is an error for anyone but root to write to this
device (EPERM), and the permissions don't suggest that. Soon, however,
anyone will be able to write here, but only root will cause an implicit
reseed.
X field is treated the same as the unit number for acdX. The optional
Y parameter specifies the number of track devices to create starting at
track 1. If Y is not specified, it defaults to 100.
- Add the acd0t target to the all target to preserve previous behavior.
- Don't add the acd0t target to the fixit target, thus keeping the fixit
floppy from running out of i-nodes.
The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the
system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are
made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge
code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of
the bridge are separated by userland daemons.
This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar
purpose to the vmware port.

Supported devices:
SB Midi Port (sbc + midi)
SB OPL3 (sbc + midi)
16550 UART (midi, needs a trick in your hint)
CS461x Midi Port (csa + midi)
OSS-compatible sequencer (seq)
Supported playing software:
playmidi (We definitely need more)
Notes:
/dev/midistat now reports installed midi drivers. /dev/sndstat reports
only pcm drivers. We need the new name(pcmstat?).
EMU8000(SB AWE) does not sound yet but does get probed so that the OPL3
synth on an AWE card works.

MSS/PCI bridge drivers

2. Newbusify the driver.
3. Build as a module.
4. Use correct minor numbers when creating device files.
5. Correctly lock control characters.
6. Return ENXIO when device not configured.

7. Fix the baud_table.

Note:
- the old driver still lives in src/sys/i386/isa, so that you can
revert to it if something goes wrong.
- The module does not detach very well. Attaching works fine.
/dev/xxx and one /dev/rxxx. This changes them to a hard link so that
less inodes are consumed and so that the permissions are always in sync.
There are lots more of these still.
symlinks to fd/0, fd/1, and fd/2 respectively. This will make
things easier for upcoming changes to fdesc (and does not break
anything for the current state of things) and hopefully its
position as the replacement for our existing static /dev/fd nodes.

MAKEDEV all, making DHCP on multiple interfaces happier, and allowing use
of tcpdump to to debug DHCP, without creating more devices.
(we need devfs)
Modify MAKEDEV to create four tun devices in MAKEDEV all as well, since
we're being gratuitous with network pseudo-devices.
