As I was doing an upgrade, I had a copy of MAKEDEV.subr on the
original disk. Booting i386cd.iso (undef VMWare workstation) of course
did not find any disk, so I made the node for wd0a, mounted the drive
root and copied MAKEDEV.subr to /dev on the install system. MAKEDEV
then failed because of no dirname, as was earlier mentioned, so I did

cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV.subr; ./MAKEDEV; setup /dev; makedev all

which did the trick, but filled /dev, so I had to rm /dev/*raid* and
makedev pty? to complete the upgrade. So it's both MAKEDEV.subr and
dirname missing from i386cd, apparently.
