Description Jonathan Perkin 2001-03-08 00:00:01 UTC 
	Since DEVFS was made default in -current a month or so ago, the
	distribution target in src/etc/Makefile has been broken because
	MAKEDEV cannot be installed to /dev

	distribution is still a viable target, especially for people such as
	myself who occasionally like to wipe out /etc + /var and repopulate
	from scratch to avoid old cruft.  But even a "make -k" fails to work.

	Moving the MAKEDEV installation inside the testcase for NO_MAKEDEV
	makes sense anyway, as if you don't want /dev to be recreated,
	you're unlikely to want MAKEDEV to be reinstalled.

	(I apologise if this pr has already been received - I'm not sure
	whether it's related to mail problems I've been having recently or
	whether the gnats system is just slow :o)

How-To-Repeat: 	
	$ cd /usr/src/etc
	$ make [-k] [NO_MAKEDEV=yes] distribution
