>Description:

	I get src only, "make world", copy $(SRC)/etc/etc.i386/MAKEDEV
	to /dev/MAKEDEV and "sh ./MAKEDEV all".
	it removes all disk device nodes and can't generate disk partition
	such as sd0s1e. So I lost all disk partitions.
	"sh ./MAKEDEV sd0" can't generate disk partition, I must do
	"sh ./MAKEDEV sd0s1".

 That's intentional.  It would be blatant to create device nodes
 for 30 slices per disk.

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

Uh, it's supposed to work that way?  This isn't a bug. 
If the `all' rule generated every conceivable slice entry, 
many bad things would happen (the boot floppy would immediately 
go inode-less, for one thing).
