Is it possible to have /dev/null on NFS-mounted filesystem ?
With kernel of Jun 8 it gives me: 

$ ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  daemon    2,   2 Jun  9 12:00 /dev/null
$ echo >/dev/null
cannot create /dev/null: error 22
$ cat </dev/null
$

/dev resides on filesystem NFS-mounted from Solaris 2.3.
Another (c 2 2) device on FFS works OK.
