User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4.2)

Description of problem:
The make file tries to create a node in the /dev directory which:

a) you must be root to do   -and-
b) is not anywhere that rpm can package it later

I will attach a patch that fixes this bug.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
SysVinit-2.85-32

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild -bb SysVinit.spec

Actually, there are a couple commands right before the mknod that needs the
$(ROOT) variable added. It makes no difference to the outcome, but is more
complete.
