hmm, does UPDATING say you should do that? all I know is mergemaster
asks whether I want to have /dev/* rebuilt, and I let it do so.
UPDATING notwithstanding, you did *not* rebuild ad{4,5}*. take a
look in /dev/MAKEDEV: calling it with "std" does not touch ad* at
all. what you want is:
cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV all ad4 ad5
