Description bill 2001-02-06 23:40:01 UTC 
	I was poking around in /dev/MAKEDEV because I wanted to
	know if it could safely be used to create device nodes in
	directories other than /dev. The answer is "almost".

	A minor nit: pty* references /dev/null so, if one happened
	to not have a /dev/null, a *file* will get created there.

	cuaR? and ttyR? both explicitly reference /dev, unlike
	everything else. Thus attempting to create these elsewhere
	will fail.

Fix: 

I expect that simply removing the /dev/'s will fix it.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Read the source. :)
