I can't get the memory based /dev to work. It (almost) always causes a  
panic on my TS-7200s which is an EP9302 based system. I just created  
the device nodes in /dev so that init wouldn't try and created the  
mfs. I get messages like

        warning: no /dev/console

        uvm_fault(0xc2921e14, 37352000, 1) -> e
        Fatal kernel mode data abort: 'Translation Fault (S)'
        ...
        Stopped in pid 2.1 (sh) at      netbsd:uvm_pagealloc_pgfl+0x84: ...
