postConfigure creates a list of dbroots and assigns them device nodes, it starts at 'g' and increments, but it skips 'k'. system fails to start

This Problem was reported by a customer and I was able to reproduce.

"When postConfigure creates a list of dbroots and assigns them device nodes, it starts at 'g' and increments, but it always skips 'k'.
When we tried to start the cluster with 5 PMs it failed to start complaining about the volume not found on pm5"

use postConfigure to create a 5 pm system with 1 dbroot per pm.

from pm1:
