Then three error messages appeared: "Unable to mount /mnt/dev/ad0s1e on The current snapshot in the beginning of November failed to install because libdisk's function MakeDev() tried to mknod() in devfs partiton. The patch I provided just skipped mknod() if the kernel knew devfs, even if sysinstall tried to mknod() other than the devfs partition, which caused the bug you reported. Matusita-san has committed the proper fix to the problem, so please try newer snapshot and report the result as a followup to PR 31009 if possible.
