Hmm. It seems that etc.i386/MAKEDEV does not make the "control" unit
of md device (which is mentioned in /sys/dev/md.c).

I made it as "mknod md0c b 17 128" and then I can do mdconfig.
mdconfig(8) man page should also be fixed...
(It should be "mdconfig /dev/md0c 2048 &", not md0a.)

BTW, etc.arm32/MAKEDEV does not make /dev/md0a...
