>Description:
	Upon upgrading a 2.99.something box to 3.0 BETA by extracting
	the sets by hand and then running postinstall and it reporting
	no problems, things like dhclient fail to work because there's
	no /dev/bpf device, only the old /dev/bpf{0,1,2,...} devices.
	Running "cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV bpf" fixes this, but it would be
	nice if postinstall checked and reported on this.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Upgrade a pre-cloning bpf box to (say) NetBSD 3.0 BETA.

>Fix:
	None given.
