Ok, I got the RPM for /dev and forced the install.
As it was running, my printer came to life and printed
out a previously queued page. Ok.

I can now also mount my external USB hard disc.

I did the same for MAKEDEV.

MAKEDEV is apparently not to be run by hand, as it only
creates one device. The soft link created before was
apparently as a result of the LiveCD having only the one
copy, so I don't expect anything in /sbin, I guess.

Ok, reboot to let MAKEDEV be run, and the microcode
installs fine.

My system seems to be back to "normal".

Thanks very much!

This is definitely one of those "keep a record of how to recover
from" events.

Again, Thank You Very Much for helping me recover from
boneheaded root activities.
