Howdy.  I'm getting pretty frustrated with FBSD 5.0.

Somehow I've managed to goof up the system.  It started after I built a
custom kernel.  After rebooting into the new kernel I start getting all
sorts of cannot fork errors.  One specific one is "/etc/rc.devfs cannot
fork: resource temporarily unavailable".

The only thing I did was comment out the 486 and 586 cpu sections as
well as the floppy drive.  I thought at first it was because of the
addition of the IPFIREWALL options.  Because when the new kernel boots
I cannot login (cannot fork: resource temporarily unavailable).

I recopied the GENERIC kernel to my custom kernel made NO changes to
the GENERIC kernel, built it, installed it and rebooted.  Still no
login (cannot fork: resource temporarily unavailable).

So I reinstalled.  Then made a new kernel.  Still no login (cannot
fork: resource temporarily unavailable).

So I checked /etc/rc.devfs.  I saw nothing worth noting in that file. 
98% of it is commented out.

I'm seriously ready to give this thing the fork alright.  But I do not
want to damage my nice silverware.  Why is this thing not forking?  I
do not even know where to continue my troubleshooting now.

Windows NT: Vapourware of the desperate and scared.
