So much has changed over the years, and you don't specify either a book version or the details for "the case before". I think you are only looking at the initial minimal devices used when we entered chroot. Take a look also at what we did after installing udev (perhaps, we ran 'udevstart'), to see how we created the necessary devices so we could run the boot loader, and then look through the *closed* problems and suggestions at http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/report/6 - udev has changed a lot over the years, and the instructions in 6.3 should work reliably on any valid host system. You can also read the -book list archives at http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-book/ and similarly the lfs-dev archives. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
