In latest lfs book, the "Preparing Virtual File Systems" page contains:
6.2.1. Creating Initial Device Nodes When the kernel boots the system, it requires the presence of a few device nodes, in particular the console and null devices. The device nodes must be created on the hard disk so that they are available before udevd has been started, and additionally when Linux is started with init=/bin/bash. Create the devices by running the following commands: mknod -m 600 $LFS/dev/console c 5 1 mknod -m 666 $LFS/dev/null c 1 3 These are not necessarry anymore. devtmpfs is a requirement for newer udev versions and is mounted by the kernel before even init has been invoked. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
