Argghh. Yet another root-diskette bug. This one is simple to rectify:

make the new devices with;


# mknod /dev/hd8 b 3 8

# mknod /dev/hd9 b 3 9


and all should be well. I don't have hd8 and hd9, and used just a "cp

+recursive" to get the files copied to the root-diskette. I will write a

C-program to print out 1000 times:"check the rootdiskette next time".
