more MAKEDEV woes
I had this problem too, so I filed a bug against MAKEDEV. If you've
already filed the same bug, please tell the maintainer so, so that he
doesn't have to deal with two identical bugs.
I haven't yet tried, but I assume that we can work around the bug by
editing basedisks.sh and rootdisk.sh, and removing any reference to
`sbpcd' (that's the device that causes MAKEDEV to fail).

Package: makedev
Version: 2.3.1-42
Severity: normal
While building the boot floppies (from the CVS source, as of 7:00 PM 1
May 2000 PDT), MAKEDEV fails for the device named sbpcd:
/sbin/MAKEDEV sbpcd
/sbin/MAKEDEV: substr 0123456789abcdef: value too great for base (error token is "0123456789abcdef")
Note that if you were to enlist in the boot-floppies project and
build, you wouldn't see exactly the above. Instead you'd see MAKEDEV
invoked with many arguments, and it wouldn't be clear which one was
causing the failure.
