When I started doing the modifications to the devfs code, /dev/klog wasn't being created, yet the system was booting up to a login prompt without any problems. As well, /dev/log itself was being created as a device instead of as a socket, again causing syslogd to not run, but not seeming to affect anything else. Marc G.
