Thanks for the report.  That's a blatant bug in the /dev handling.
I hope I fixed it sufficiently in CVS.  I'm just generating a new
snapshot which should be available in about half an hour on
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/

Please give it a try.  For instance, call the /etc/postinstall/bash.sh
and /etc/postinstall/000-cygwin-post-install.sh files manually ands
report back if they do what they should in terms of /dev.  Maybe the
scripts now have a .done suffix, but you should still be able to run
them.


Thanks,
Corinna
