I have every intention of adding code to stop the root partition
going above the CHS limit on i386 systems (and any other limit
any MD code sets).

Yep, since /dev is almost always in /, a full / can easily
be caused by a mistyped rst0.
IMHO /dev shouldn't contain any files (someone move MAKEDEV ?)

That will always happen, it doesn't make much difference which fs
is full - unless you need to protect the system for users.
(give each user his own filesystem?)
