I got a couple of me too's, but no helpful advice from the audience.
I called Digital Tech Support.

Using find / -i 1543, I found out that 1543 is the inode for /dev/null on my
machine. On the tech's advice, I rm'd /dev/null and created a new one, using

# mknod null c 2 2

and rebooted. The vmunix warning was gone upon reboot. Unfortunately
I don't know if the warning was a symptom of something greater or not.

If you choose to remove and rebuild /dev/null, don't forget to set the
permissions correctly. Write access is a good thing.

I would be happy to hear from others who have upgraded to V3.2, especially
on 3000/300's, so I can ferret out any other problems before I upgrade
the other machines here.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled inode.
