I tried to install current snapshot as of October 2, 2001 from
current.jp.FreeBSD.org, but it seems to fail at
sysinstall.c:installFilesystems().
The function installFilesystems() calls MakeDevChunk() of
lib/libdisk/create_chunk.c, which then calls mknod(2) via
MakeDev(). The error message I see

Well, since I don't own libdisk(3) and had no idea why you'd be
addressing this to me unless you were still confused, I presumed you
