Yes.  Works much better.  I must have run the old one.

The only thing that "failed" is the check for "MAKEDEV", which it
compares /dev/MAKEDEV to "etc/etc.macppc".

Where does etc/etc.macppc come from?  It does not appear to be created
in the script, and does not seem to be in any of the distros?  Is this
a /usr/src thing?

/dev/MAKEDEV is in base.tgz.

?
