for those of you who have been asking..

devfs struggled to life this evening,
after a rather drastic re-write and internal reorganisation..

it crashed soon after, but the sample below came from it..

jules # mount_devfs devfs /mnt
jules # cd /mnt
jules # ls
disks/
jules # ls -l
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  29 Dec 31  1969 disks/
jules # ls -l disks
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  16 Dec 31  1969 floppy/
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  16 Dec 31  1969 rfloppy/
jules # cd disks
jules # cd floppy
jules # ls -l
total 0
brw-r--r--  2 root  wheel    2,   0 Dec 31  1969 fd0.1440


it crashed on 'pwd'
(I guess I have a problem with '..' somewhere (probably devfs_root)

I still have some cleaning up to do, and then I'm going to hack the slice code
(hi bruce) to create devfs entries for slices as they are 'found'

It's still a mess, but it's a SHRINKING mess.. :)

btw, looks like the DATE is not set when the fd is probed :)
