Ooo, that sounds plausible, and, now that you mention it, I think this
may be why my 1.4T encrypted disk implementation prompted me to create
a pseudo0 bus which attached "at mainbus", for ed to attach to. I'm
sure I (thought I) needed it in the device tree for something, and that
may be it.
What's the right fix here, have you any thoughts? Should I create a
pseudo bus as I did for 1.4T, or is there some way to get a device_t
for cgd0 as a conventional pseudo-device?
