System name:		mad-scientist
Type and version:	IP22 8.0A
Display type:		GR3-XZ

What were you trying to do?

	Run MAKEDEV.

What's wrong:

	It failed because Athena's install is in root's search
	path earlier than SGI's, and MAKEDEV needs an option that
	only SGI's install has.

What should have happened:

	Not entirely sure. This could be an issue for all platforms.
