  No, I just meant that I copied MAKEDEV from /usr/src into /dev, and then 
ran ./MAKEDEV std from /dev, as per the UPDATING instructions.

  I do suspect this as being related, as I just noted that as of the 
20020318 entry notes an ATA change. I'm just not sure what else to try.

  Sorry for replying privately, this account isn't on the list. I'll be sure 
to CC it in from now on.

  I appreciate the suggestions.
