It just tells the kernel not to use the device filesystem. If your other
entries all have devfs=mount and everything worked properly before, you
can change it to devfs=mount. FYI, however, the 2.6 kernel is beginning
to phase out the device filesystem in favor for the sysfs. To get that
working, just do this as root: 'mkdir /sys'. Then reboot into the 2.6
kernel. You can go ahead and change it to devfs=mount. Just don't forget
to run lilo when your finished.
