Several people have asked how to install the codrv kernel and XFree86
1.2 found on agate.berkeley.edu.  README.386BSD didn't tell people how
to make the devices.

If you install kernel-1.2.codrv-fix-1.tar.Z, create new /dev entries:
  mknod /dev/kbd c 15 0
  mknod /dev/vga c 15 128
  rm /dev/kbd /dev/vga /dev/pccons

Put /dev/console rather than /dev/vga in /etc/ttys.  With Holger's
driver xdm will work with /dev/console even when invoked from /etc/rc.

This will go into README.386BSD and I'll upload a revision to
agate soon.  Rich
