Have you seen the native MAKEDEV? It works basically, except that some
devices are created in the root directory.
It also triggers a bug in bash-2.02 ("time" inside "case" statement),
which is corrected in bash-2.03
By the way, I haven't seen in any FAQ a command for making pipes work.
I used
mkdir /dervers/socket
settrans /servers/socket/1 /hurd/pflocal
This is a guesswork. It can be incorrect. However dpkg doesn't work
without pipes. Please put it somewhere in the FAQ - it will save a lot of
time for Hurd newbees.
