I use devfs. I have of course all the structure of devices when it is |
| 12 |
mounted. I believe however, there are some nodes that must exist |
| 13 |
in /dev in order to let your system boot. I remember having some problems |
| 14 |
with console devices and the kernel that didn't want to boot because |
| 15 |
I didn't have the corresponding node in /dev. I added the node |
| 16 |
and it worked. |
| 17 |
So, please correct me if I'm wrong : there are some nodes in dev, used |
| 18 |
by the kernel/init during boot process but as soon as devfsd is launched, |
| 19 |
they get overwritten by devfs structure? |
