Log:
  Mount devfs inside a beinstall(8) chroot
  
  It turns out that without /dev/null beinstall is not able to complete and
  instead exits with messages similar to these:
  
    --------------------------------------------------------------

/tmp/beinstall.JleGoP/mnt/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64 /tmp/beinstall.JleGoP/mnt
    Destroyed successfully
    error: Installworld failed!
  
  Upon a bit of debugging, it turns out that /dev/null inside the chroot
  environment is full random bytes, which cause "make -f /dev/null" to
  misbehave. Mounting a proper devfs inside the chroot seems to be the most
  appropriate way to fix it.
  
  will@ also noted that this change requires that whatever is needed in devfs
  must exist in the old kernel.
