H A Dbeinstall.shdiff 1655b2314e0e155ce1154b804f1abe05fceedc41 Tue Oct 27 10:32:06 CET 2020 Mateusz Piotrowski <0mp@FreeBSD.org> Mount devfs inside a beinstall(8) chroot

It turns out that without /dev/null beinstall is not able to complete and
instead exits with messages similar to these:

--------------------------------------------------------------

Destroyed successfully
error: Installworld failed!

Upon a bit of debugging, it turns out that /dev/null inside the chroot
environment is full random bytes, which cause "make -f /dev/null" to
misbehave. Mounting a proper devfs inside the chroot seems to be the most
appropriate way to fix it.

will@ also noted that this change requires that whatever is needed in devfs
must exist in the old kernel.
