I had compiled the kernel w/o devfs... gentoo kept telling me I should have it... recompiled the kernel with devfs... boot failed right after devfs was mounted cuz /dev was empty except .devfsd and initctl. Never figured out why it was doing that... reinstalled.

Now that I'm running with devfs I'm loathe to screw with it... though I find it amusing that after all the hullaballoo about devfs tidying up the /dev dir, mine is still messy as hell... a million ptys and all that. I suppose that's because I need to change some settings in devfsd.conf... will get around to that one of these days.
