fix a bug where you couldn't place devices in the root directory of devfs remove deprecated routines On my machine devfs now shows: julian@erf.tfs.com: julian@erf.tfs.com: ls -RF bpf0 mem ptypb spkr ttyp8 bpf1 null ptypc stderr ttyp9 bpf2 pcaudio ptypd stdin ttypa bpf3 pcaudioctl ptype stdout ttypb console pt ptypf tty ttypc cuaa0 ptyp0 random ttyd0 ttypd cuaia0 ptyp1 rsd0 ttyid0 ttype cuala0 ptyp2 rsd1 ttyld0 ttypf fd/ ptyp3 rvn ttyp0 tun0 fd0.1440 ptyp4 rworm ttyp1 urandom fd1.1200 ptyp5 scsi/ ttyp2 vn io ptyp6 sd0 ttyp3 zero kmem ptyp7 sd1 ttyp4 lkm ptyp8 snp0 ttyp5 log ptyp9 snp1 ttyp6 lpt0 ptypa snp2 ttyp7 ./fd: 0 15 21 28 34 40 47 53 6 9 1 16 22 29 35 41 48 54 60 10 17 23 3 36 42 49 55 61 11 18 24 30 37 43 5 56 62 12 19 25 31 38 44 50 57 63 13 2 26 32 39 45 51 58 7 14 20 27 33 4 46 52 59 8 ./scsi: sctarg ssc julian@erf.tfs.com: which is all devices really there except for disk slices/partitions.. (if I don't have it it's not there, which has GOT to be an improvement..) no DEVFS fixes from device maintainers yet?

This install procedure is ALPHA code, and `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK! Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!
If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen. The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation! Thanks!
Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys. To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice. Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.
For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please
see the release notes.
For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase
the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association.
ISBN 1-56592-082-1 We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just
satisfied customers!
Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with
this release!

Thanks!
