A device entry in /dev doesn't actually mean your kernel has support for the
device. I expect your kernel doesn't have loopback device support. Cat
/proc/devices, under Block devices: you should see 7 loop, i.e.
Block devices:
1 ramdisk
3 ide0
7 loop
9 md
11 sr
22 ide1
253

Yes i see squashfs in there and it does not have nodev in front of
it like most other fs do (i dunno what that means).
It is built into the kernel. First i patched the kernel assuming its
not already in since i couldn't find it in the defconfig.
