Furthermore, I just hacked in the latest version of devfs,
(had to hand patch fbmem.c) and it's running wunderbar.

Ich habe DevFS und 2.1.124-pre2!!! Linus ist ein GOD!
(Gooch too!)

BTW, I hope reporting successes is on-topic... I hadn't
seen mention of 2.1.124-2 yet, and thought I'd unofficially
announce it.
