venus-setup contains the following fragment:

  if [ ! -c /dev/cfs0 -o ! -c /dev/coda/0 ] ; then
    if [ ! -x /dev/MAKEDEV ] ; then
      echo 'You need a character device for the Coda kernel module'
      echo 'On *BSD systems you probably have to run "mknod /dev/cfs0 c93 0"'
    else
      ( cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV cfs )
    fi
  fi


Shouldn't the first check be this instead?

  if [ ! -c /dev/cfs0 -a ! -c /dev/coda/0 ] ; then


Regards,
Maurice.
