Hi!

Yet another minor problem: does DEVFS support vn(4) driver? I can't make
it work.

First of all, I don't have entries for slices, i.e. I don't have
[r]vn0{a,c}. When I do 'disklabel vn0 auto' it warns me that slice is
zero-sized (or something similar), and when I read back the label it says
that c: is unused (without DEVFS it just created the slice equal to the
whole device size, and placed it under c:). Consequently, newfs'ing it
doesn't work.

And yet another question: can I manually make device entries in /dev
(using mknod)?
