It's worth noting that that information may be out of date, since I
last tried it with 3.2 or 3.2G.

If anybody can confirm that it now works, i'd be interested to hear
it.


note that the problem of wanting to say 'mknod ...' on a Digital UNIX
system to create a NetBSD device node and not having it work is
entirely different, and not a bug.
