OK.
here's the diff to the MAKEDEV script:
--- MAKEDEV.old Fri May 17 00:29:18 1996
+++ MAKEDEV.new Fri May 17 00:31:26 1996
@@ -226,6 +226,8 @@
makedev zero c 1 5 $public
symlink core $procfs/kcore
makedev full c 1 7 $public
+ makedev random c 1 8 $public
+ makedev urandom c 1 9 $public
makedev ram b 1 1 $disk
makedev tty c 5 0 $tty
;;
I believe this is the only change necessary, as /dev/zero is mentioned
nowhere else in the script.
