Since initscripts-5.27-37mdk is for hackkernel (kernel > 2.2) should it
not have support for devfs in it?  Specifically I think what is lacking
is mounting of devfs and permissions saving/restoring across reboots. 
As per the devfs FAQ
(http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/docs/devfs.html#persistence)
devfs needs to be mounted not by the kernel but by the initscripts,
early in the boot process.

Some of the mount/umount commands that ignore filesystems like procfs
(-t noprocfs) need to have devfs added to them.  Specifically, the code
in halt, netfs, etc.

Thots?
