>Description:
Postinstall fails to update /dev/MAKEDEV.local during sysinst upgrade
or when run during etcupdate or when run manually, and says makedev
failed.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run a sysinst upgrade on a system (5.0_RC1 or -current) and note that
the postinstall run after extracting etc.tgz complains about the
makedev step. Run etcupdate afterwards, and the postinstall run
at the end of that also complains.
The problem appears to be that postinstall is looking in ${SRC_DIR}/etc,
but the file is actually in ${SRC_DIR}/dev when extracted from the
etc.tgz set. When using a source tree as the source, that file is
in src/etc, so postinstall will work when using the source tree.
>Fix:
Search for MAKEDEV.local in both ${SRC_DIR}/dev and ${SRC_DIR}/etc
and use that file (similar to what is done for MAKEDEV).

Finally got a chance to update to 5.0_RC4 and verify that this appears
to work (at least it no longer complains about failure), so I would say
it's fixed.
