I have it working, although I hacked-in the support on my dev box rather |
| 10 |
than using our "official" method. |

I compiled a kernel with devfs support, and enabled the auto-mount on boot |
| 13 |
option. Then, I created an rc script to run "/sbin/devfsd /dev" on boot and |
| 14 |
"killall devfsd" on shutdown. Then, I configured it to start up in runlevel 0, |
| 15 |
in position 03 (in /etc/rc.d/rcboot.d, right after "pretty"). It looks like |
| 16 |
an older script on cvs started it in runlevel 1, maybe that's the problem? |
| 17 |
Make sure you've installed the most recent version of sys-apps/devfsd, and |
| 18 |
then remove any devfsd symlink that may exist in /etc/rc.d/rc1.d. |
