Re: kern/41312: panic when /dev is missing

[Jean-Edouard Babin <jeb%jeb.com.fr@localhost>]

Yes, you're right, I tried with MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV.local in /dev and  
it work as expected.

I've no longer the /dev of the system before my NetBSD 5 upgrade to  
check if I had MAKEDEV in /dev but I don't remember that it was the  
case.
Also from http://www.netbsd.org/~jschauma/netbsd-solidstate.html it  
seems that it was working even without MAKEDEV before.

From what I see in the CVS, a warning has been added to -current (http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sbin/init/init.c.diff?r1=1.97&r2=1.98&f=h 
) to warn when MAKEDEV is not found.
This is a good news to understand with the panic comes.

I guess the case can be closed. Sorry for the trouble
