There are two different bugs here.  AND there are 4 different BSDs we
support.

This was a slip up that was only in FreeBSD 2.2.x kernels.  vop_select
should be defined and made to function like ufs_select ... it returns 1.

Again, coda does not support either mknod or mkfifo.  We could discuss
how to kludge in mknod if there was enough demand.  fifo's are much harder.
Right now we are just returning an error.  I am returning EIO -- which
is the same error message that is returned on linux.

We had not planned to go on supporting 2.2.x when we switched to
-current on FreeBSD (The same applies to NetBSD.).  Up till very
recently we had not even built 4.6.6 on 2.2.x FreeBSD (or 1.3 NetBSD)
systems.  We can not keep this up indefinitely.  For now, you can go
to our web/ftp site and visit the
		pub/coda/freebsd/2.2.x/i386
directory.  This contains packages for 4.6.6 client and server, kernel
support code, notes, prebuilt kernels, sources, etc ...  These changes
make 4.6.6 build correctly and contain the latest fixes for some
recent kernel bugs.
