Is this bug already closed? If not: please close it. 

But the MAKEDEV has two other bugs:

+ /dev/MAKEDEV st0
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
+ cd /var/tmp/root-tmp-7022/dev
+ /dev/MAKEDEV st1
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: unit: command not found
+ /dev/MAKEDEV adb
chown: :: can not omit both user and group
chown: :: can not omit both user and group


st[0-7])
        major=`Major st 9`
        unit=`suffix $arg st`
        makedev st$unit   c $major $unit $tape
        makedev nst$unit  c $major `math 128 + $unit` $tape


# ADB bus devices (char)
        makedev adb c 56 0
        makedev adbmouse c 10 10


Both looks good for me -- bdale: any idea for this?  Possible a
chroot problem ?



Thanks,
