    Check that your permissions are as follows:

    <kadmin@archangel> [/] [8:49]
    #ll /dev | grep io
    crw------- 1 root wheel 2, 14 Sep 21 23:00 io
    <kadmin@archangel> [/] [8:49]
    #ll /dev | grep kmem
    crw-r----- 1 root kmem 2, 1 Sep 21 23:00 kmem
    crw-r----- 1 root kmem 2, 0 Sep 21 23:00 mem

    Well, nothing's changed, except for some code streamlining
    and possibly bug removal. I'd skip to the chapter on
