Yes, but there is CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT. Can also be enabled with devtmpfs.mount=1 "With this option enabled, it allows to bring up a system in rescue mode with init=/bin/sh, even when the /dev directory on the rootfs is completely empty." -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
