- Absolutely, and here is my request for a dev number for the fd device
- (All the support is there it is just missing from the cdev table and
- the /dev/MAKEDEV has it at 53 wich is way wrong (unless you are running
- BSD4.3 on a vax!!) I have assigned it a number on my system and it works
- fine (fixes make tags in the source tree and things that use /dev/stdin,
- /dev/stdout)
