I'm just curious, what happened to the fine lsdev command in the 2.2
branch? Trying lsdev on 2.2.1 release (the same under 2.2 alpha):

# lsdev
lsdev: sysctl(hw.devconf.number): No such file or directory

It seemed to be OK up to 2.1.6. Not that I would terribly need this
command (all it gives me I can get from dmesg anyway) but it was kind
nice to have it, especially for the case you have a long running machine
and /var/log/messages gets clobbered  with other console messages and
dmesg says nothing meaningful anymore.

Cheers,
