This patch is the same of PR: bin/31009. I try to send to this list
for wider audience to check my patch.
***
Current 5-current sysinstall has a bug; when you want to install
FreeBSD to a fresh PC, and you try to make a partition except 'a'
(for example, 'ad0s1e'), sysinstall fails to do newfs. This is because
sysinstall misunderstands /mnt/dev filesystem is a devfs partition.
In a month before, this bug is reported as bin/31009, but this patch
still has a bug. Unconditionally libdisk refuses to mknod(2) a device
file. It should be done *if and only if a path is on devfs*.
Libdisk should check a patch is devfs or not, using a given path. It
would be done with statfs(2) so I wrote a patch. I already sent this
to jkh (it's sysinstall-related) but he is now in BSDcon Europe :-)
Does anybody confirm that I'm doing a right thing?
