>Description:
For now, etc.i386/MAKEDEV makes spacial files for 16 disk partitions.
The number of files is increased, but the number of inode is 
insufficient.
src/distrib/i386/floppies/ramdisk-* will make floppy image file and
do newfs -i 3950.  It may cause error.

Part of error messages is here:
