any pipes and running other commands (eg dd).

MD disktab where possible (everything but vax)
the MD disktab was often either empty, or contained entries even for disks

/usr/share/examples/disktab/disktab in case anyone would need them
needed to fully support the "new distrib world order"):
* remove unnecessary trailing ;
* clean up whitespace
* remove unnecessary chown root or chgrp wheel directives; older code here
didn't bother doing this, so why be inconsistent
* don't barf when we have fdesc mounted; just skip the devices fdesc provides
* when making directories, don't use -p and don't redirect stdout to /dev/null
* add /dev/fd/* support [hp300]
* convert to new pty generation [hp300]
(prevents spurious warning for mfs /dev, amongst other things)
