System: NetBSD locus.dlsi.uji.es 1.6ZG NetBSD 1.6ZG (LOCUS) #32: Mon Dec 22 16:41:55 CET 2003 root@locus.dlsi:/sys/arch/i386/compile/LOCUS i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:

/sbin/init tries to mount /dev with mount_mfs when there is no
/dev/console on the machine. I tried that and found that there isn't
enough space to create all the device nodes.


	
>How-To-Repeat:

Boot on a -current system where MAKEDEV hasn't been executed.

>Fix:

In sbin/init/init.c, Change 

#define NINODE 896

to something like:

#define NINODE 2000

With 2000 inodes, after MAKEDEV is executed, I get a /dev filesystem
with 71% of storage used.
