From Bruce Evans protected mode INSTALLation notes
==============================================================================


13. Make the new readclock and then the port device for readclock to use:

    su root
    mknod /dev/port c 1 4

and fix the memory device for it:

    rm /dev/mem
    mknod /dev/mem c 1 1

These must go on the (old) root DISK.

I don't believe that this has been mentioned in the 1.5.0 notes
