fail anyway so check for that. Also convert "." to "" since that
way we avoid the lstat() (which we don't need) and the subsequent
chdir() and some dir checks.
'the big disk case' no longer sets vars and calls dodisk, would take more space
to additionally do the 'stepping' argument (see cd\* in generated MAKEDEV)
prepare dodisk* script functions for a 7th argument, what I call disk stepping,
the number to add from rd0a to rd1a minor numbers, defaulted to 16; some archs
*cough*macppc*cough* still have 8 for cdroms and such
all -> builds 'this' arch (etc.$(uname -m)/MAKEDEV)
allarchs -> builds all archs (etc.*/MAKEDEV)
clean -> cleans 'this' arch (etc.$(uname -m)/MAKEDEV)
cleandirs -> cleans all archs (etc.*/MAKEDEV)
also, build the MAKEDEV files during the release process
.mi -> edit this to add new devices
.sub -> hardcore m4 here, be careful
*/*.md -> machine dependent information (generally device,block (& char) major)
Thanks for eyes/conversation about this over the years from espie, deraadt,
johns, fgsch, hugh, weingart, mickey, and others ..
