I don't know if anyone else has noticed this -- it comes with evbmips
builds from -current.
If you don't have /dev populated, init is supposed to "make one" in an
MFS filesystem.
I've noticed this doesn't work well -- it looks like the default MFS
tree it builds doesn't have enough inodes for /dev, so you get lots of
complaints about that.
It would be cool if that were fixed, though admittedly I should have a
populated /dev/ tree. :-)
I probably should file this as a PR, but I wanted to inquire before I
did that. FWIW my unit has ~192MB, so its not RAM that is exhausted --
just inodes in the MFS.
Thanks!
