During the "release.8" phase, I tumbled upon a bug either in the vn code or
in the kernel handling of out-of-inode situation in a device. 

The doSH.sh script tries  many times  to do a   pseudo-floppy and with  the
default numbers   (the   50000 in   release/Makefile)  it  fails  with    a
out-of-inode message and the  second or third  time it happens, the machine
is locked *tight*. Frozen. The only way out is the BRS.

It also fills my syslog with lots of:

Jan 14 23:22:53 keltia last message repeated 268 times
Jan 14 23:22:54 keltia /kernel.old: vn0: invalid primary partition table: no magic

...it then crashed... I reboot

I  put 20000 in  release/Makefile  and  finally  succeeded in building  the
floppies... 

# Upper size for the mfs in the boot.flp kernel.
# These are adjusted down to the minimum needed but doFS.sh.
BOOTMFSSIZE=		1200
MFSINODE=		20000

Last thing,  when release/Makefile does a "cvs  co  -r RELENG_2_1_0" (in my
case) the doSH.sh script was *not* extracted. I had  to extract it manually
and then restart "chroot /y/2.1.0 /mk".
