"/sbin/umount -f /dev" might work, >or you can do it in single user mode before the tmpfs /dev is >mounted. init calls /dev/MAKEDEV or /etc/MAKEDEV when /dev/console cannot be accessed. The script then creates a union mount. This happens before single-user. But /sbin/umount -f /dev is successful, so a working sequence to recover the real /dev is: boot single-user umount -f /dev fsck -p / mount / cd dev ./MAKEDEV
