I know I'm probably losing my mind, but I could have sworn that the reason for
having "dev.cpio.gz" in the Theo binary distributions was because you could put
special files into CPIO archives.

Maybe I missed the explanation for why "dev.cpio.gz" still only contains

netbsd4me:1:49 % cpio -ivt < dev.cpio
40755  root        0  Jul 14 17:17:08 1994  dev
40755  root        0  Jul 14 15:46:18 1994  dev/fd
100555 root     1992  Jul 14 17:17:08 1994  dev/MAKEDEV.local
100555 root     6428  Jul 14 17:17:08 1994  dev/MAKEDEV

and not "console", etc.?
