for me, this was quite straightforward on a 405 board. you should remeber to create two device nodes in your filesystem, though: crw-rw---- 1 root root 5, 1 2005-04-04 04:03 console crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2005-02-20 11:39 null else it won't work... one thing to note is that udev is quite slow on bootup (at least here). after init is started some initial device nodes are created, this takes like 5 to 10 seconds here. i don't know if there is a way to decrease that time: Freeing unused kernel memory: 92k init INIT: version 2.86 booting Mounting a tmpfs over /dev...done. Creating initial device nodes...done. that is a bit annoying... but i didn't put any energy in resolving that issue yet, so maybe it's easy ;) hth, andre
