I am starting to write a new section for Chapter 3 called "About Devices" that is intended to give the user some options that go beyond the udev configuration in LFS.
One option is to disable udev completely and use static devices. This may be appropriate for systems like servers where dynamic devices are not desired. My question is how to disable udev? It's not hard to copy the device entries in /dev to another location, but the S10udev script mounts a tmpfs on top of /dev (and never puts it in mtab). It would appear to me that the only solution here is to reboot via another root partition or a LiveCD, mount the filesystem and create or copy the devices to /dev. At that time, the link /etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/S10udev should be removed. Finally, rebooting to the LFS system will get us running without udev.
