>Description:

If MAKEDEV is run from init due to a missing /dev/console and /usr/sbin
is not on the root partition chown will not be found and you get dozens
or hundreds of "chown: not found" failure messages.

>How-To-Repeat:

make /usr (or at least /usr/sbin) a mount point
# rm /dev/console
# reboot

>Fix:

Add /rescue to PATH in MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV.local.
