Hi Eric,

It was /mnt/sysimage/dev.  I think it was my fault, because in both
cases I used "rsync -avx" to relocate the root partition to a different
disk, but since on devfs /dev is on a separate virtual filesystem, the
"-x" option prevented rsync from copying over the /dev directory, and I
did not do that separately.
