They do. That's going to be a major headache to get supported with new 
MAKEDEV releases, btw. Which brings me to another bug in MAKEDEV: 
/dev/amigamouse overlaps with /dev/jbm, and the MAKEDEV maintainer didn't
think it necessary to support amigamouse.

Kernels etc. are there; a problem with VME might be installation on diskless
machines, I'm not sure we can mount a NFS root filesystem to install on with
the current ramdisks. You should know if that's an option on ix86 or some 
other arch.
