I don't know exactly, it is probably like /dev/fd/0 or similar.
You need to run devfsd, as pretty much the first thing in the boot cycle
(in rc.sysinit or similar) in order to get compatibility (you need
this!), unless you want to convert your system completely over to devfs.
Note that Linux-Mandrake is still essentially a 2.2.x-based
distribution, so most packages will not yet work with devfs, unless you
are running devfsd to provide compatibility devices, like /dev/fd0 etc.
