Perhaps the parser should emit an error when encountering a second instance of a pseudo-device specification. (e.g. newdev() could search through the existing dtab before adding a pseudo-device) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
