If your solaris filesystem has acls and you mount it under netbsd
it is a sure fire way to hose it. Actually the NetBSD fsck will
render your filesystem's superblock unusable under solaris, so
to recover on solaris you'll need fsck -b 32. Having said all that
and knowing that you are crazy^Wbrave enough to already have done this...

No we are not [and we cannot easily, since we'll need to have a conf.c
file per emulation and choose the appropriate one for each process.

The easiest way to achieve what you want, is to mount a small mfs on
top of /emul/svr4/dev and populate it with the SVR4_MAKEDEV script
provided.
