Then I would strongly suggest to fix this in the kernel, and not in
the /dev directory. I don't have a spare disk to install netbsd on, so
I must use a shared filesystem for both SunOS and NetBSD. So far I
have only installed (well, just copied to the root dir) a netbsd
kernel and booted it. It came up allright, but I couldn't do much with
it (I only have SunOS/GNU binaries right now).

I got the system up multi-user and was able to login with the bourne
shell. Zsh and bash failed (I couldn't type), I guess because of some
termios stuff.

Ping works.

Incoming and outgoing telnet didn't work, probably because of the
major number conflict.

Any ideas on setting up a shared netbsd/SunOS filesystem?

Great work!
