Folks,

I was building a custom cdrom and found that I needed more disk drive
device nodes but could not create them because I was running out of inodes
on the ramdisk image.  I found there were a lot of dev nodes in /dev
that I really did not need but since they were in the MAKEDEV.tmpl I
could not prevent them from being created (yes, I did find the arch
dependent MAKEDEV but that does not override enough).  To get around
the problem I made a small change to etc/Makefile to allow the
MAKEDEV.tmpl file to be overridden with a custom version.  This allows
me to change the mix of device nodes created in /dev in the ramdisk
image.  Is this worth committing?  or could I have done this another
way?
