Bah, bah, bah. I am really starting to wonder about this sunburn thing.
Can we settle this once and for all in a slightly sane manner?
I committed the change so that MAKEDEV acd1 creates acd1 and not just
acd0.
I personally think this is more consistent with the wd/sa/da/ad
numbering scheme and would propose to fix the other cd* entries
likewise. Because otherwise somebody other than me will make the same
(commit) mistake x days/weeks/months/years into the future.
Opinions?
