I've been in a similar situation, even when not in "crisis" mode, but
just when installing new disk drives or moving stuff around. It's
sort of annoying that you can't run MAKEDEV with just a root file
system mounted. It wants to chown(8) the device nodes as they're
created, but it fails since chown is in /usr/sbin, which isn't mounted.
If we've got chio(1) in the root file system, couldn't we have
chown there too?
