Yes, the recent change to increase the number of partitions we can
handle has blown out the number of inodes required by the /dev
directory.  This is a real problem.

No, all linked to the same thing - note that the inode number is the
same for every file and the link count is > 1.  There is only one
binary file which is called ramdiskbin, most of the bins on the floppy
are hard linked to this because it saves space.

no, it is broken still AFAIK.
