Thank you for your suggestion, Sean.
I faced this kind of problem both on FreeBSD and FreeBSD(98) because I
mis-upgraded to current system. Anyway I tried your suggestion for
both.
On FreeBSD it was successful and there seems no problem.
On FreeBSD(98) there is still a '/dev/:0 problem'.
I'll answer about pc98.

No. Xservers has only one line.

I recreated /dev/* with newer MAKEDEV script (1.242). /tmp is
mounted by mfs.

Just removed old chown and chgrp.

I executed
cp /dev/null /var/run/utmp
cp /dev/null /var/log/wtmp
and others(bash2, ssh, kterm and fvwm2) are also rebuilt. Ssh is
openssh in the src tree. Then,

I'll recheck the steps for upgrading my system. Thanks.
