It's slightly better to follow the MAKEDEV man page advice and run:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV
rather than:
cd /dev
/sbin/MAKEDEV
since in the first case the MAKEDEV command fails if the cd fails
without returning an error status (which would imply a shell bug,
since fbset's maintainer script runs with set -e, but still...).

I don't really see why. Bug 55667 asked to change it to the current
form, and that was from the makedev maintainer.
Also if cd /dev fails the system is in a state that it does not matter
much if fbset's posting fails. I've also asked Bdale and he agreed
this is a no-bug.
Please if you really disagree with me closing this bug report, reopen
with a specific example where "cd /dev" could fail.
regards,
guillem
