I got several replies/pointers to okd posts or lists of files to delete
in /etc most of which I found to be duplicated by running
"/sbin/dn_setup -init". Ultimately my problem was using "mount -u /" and
not "/sbin/mountroot" the latter which apparently does the former *and*
syncs things with the runnung kernel. My device numbers were all fine
once I used mountroot.
Thanks for all the replies (that I don't have access to now for
individual acknoledgement).
