Sure.. in menuconfig, go to filesystems, and build in "/dev file system |
| 16 |
support" It's right below /proc filesystem support and above /dev/pts |
| 17 |
filesystem support. DO NOT select the "Automatically mount at boot" |
| 18 |
options! |

Uhh.... not sure about this. There is a way to disable devfs at boot, but |
| 27 |
i don't remember how. Maybe something like devfs=disable or devfs=nodevfs |
| 28 |
or just nodevfs. |
