One workaround is to define "pseudo-device ether" in your kernel
configuration file.

I noticed this after doing a complete build. :-( It doesn't appear that
this is fixed in the May 1 sources (nothing that fsck uses was supped
between the 29th and the 1st).

I wonder if removing the COMPAT_09 option from the kernel would help?

[All I can say is that bffs has been a life saver all day! :-]
