I already set RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no", following Richards' suggestion. I
didn't boot from a CD and cleaned /dev yet, but I'll give it a try.
Meanwhile, I upgraded the kernel and added a config option (for
firewire) that was missing (for supporting HD's). The nodes
/dev/external_hd and /dev/external_hd1 exist now, but as for the
memstick, only /dev/plextor_memstick (no /dev/plextor_memstick1, meaning
no mounting). Chaos, as I said.
