Description Don Lewis 2000-09-13 01:50:00 UTC 
	The copy of MAKEDEV on the fixit floppy should not reset its
	$PATH.  If it does, it won't be able to find the needed executables
	on the fixit floppy, such as expr.  The release/Makefile attempts
	to edit MAKEDEV to prevent it from setting $PATH, but some formatting
	changes to MAKEDEV now prevent the editing from being successful.

The correct fix is to set MAKEDEVPATH in sysinstall to include the 
necessary directories in /mnt2, which is where the fixit floppy is 
mounted.  It is also necessary to search the path that MAKEDEV uses 
to find mknod instead of hardwiring it to /sbin/mknod. 

Fixed in release/sysinstall/install.c 1.286 and 1.268.2.16, etc/MAKEDEV 
1.280 and 1.243.2.15 (RELENG_4).
