What do you define as `all'?  Say I have a big FTP server with 8 wide
SCSI controllers, each with 15 disks - that's da0..da119.  I might
have a big shell (or similar) server that needs a few thousand PTYs.
I could have all sorts of other wierd hardware.  "MAKEDEV all" has to
draw the line somewhere.
