MAKEDEV 2.3.1-10 can therefore be fixed thusly:

Change line #244 from:
$0 $opts hda hab
to
$0 $opts hda hdb hdc hdd
and re-running /bin/MAKEDEV generic-i386

AIBM (as if by magic) all is well again.

Does anyone know who has the MAKEDEV package?
Might it still be: Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> ?

It would be nice to fix this BEFORE the 
"someone" decides to release slink...

I tell 'em to pick two and call me back.
