If sysinst gets an error unpacking a set, does it skip the MAKEDEV step?

If you exit sysinst and manually mount your root file system you can then
run MAKEDEV.
e.g.:
# mount /dev/wd0a /mnt
# cd /mnt/dev
# sh ./MAKEDEV
# reboot

Once rebooted and working you probably want to run MAKEDEV again so the
correct ownership is set.  (I think you will get errors running MAKEDEV in
the above example)
