devfs not making vn devices
I've been using devfs for a long time without problems. I had device vn in my kernel conf since the pre-devfs days, and today I needed to use a vn device to build picobsd. Lo and behold, I don't have any vn devices of any sort in /dev. I tried 'vnconfig -c /dev/vn0' but it also complained that the device didn't exist. I know that the goal is for vn to be phased out (at least that's my impression) but what do we do in the meantime? Doug -- "Pain heals. Chicks dig scars.
