Ok, I found the mail of Aaron, to shut up the NFS3 on the redhat, because
it's broken. But still some problems.

I couldn't do any devices.

Booted for the first time, (with rc.conf, configured=NO)
trying a "MAKEDEV all" i get tons of errors with:

/dev/...  is a directory

after is try to boot again (with rc.conf, configured=YES, i cant get login,
because: (sorry for the complete header):
