Thanks for the detailed report.  All those problems, apart from
too many inodes, were fixed in some commits I made last night and
this morning.  If you have sbin/init/init.c revision 1.89 and
distrib/common/list.makedev revision 1.5 or later, you should be OK.

The problem with running out of inodes in the mfs /dev is apparently an
older problem that wasn't reported until now, and is not fixed yet.
