No, I don't have devfs enabled.

Oh, I'm sorry about that. It's just a tag I use to avoid installing a
kernel compiled for an Athlon on a Pentium box.

Yeah, the last tree I checked out won't boot either. On the
configuration I have virtual terminals, the console is on a virtual
terminal, unix98 pty support is compiled in, as well as /dev/pts
support.
As I said on another email, the image compile on 2001-01-10 boots, the
one from the next day doesn't. There are some changes between the two
dates in the IDE layer (the machine does have IDE disks) but I don't
know the code well enough to make out what the changes imply without
reading more.
Thanks for the suggestions,
