I know this topic is quiet old. |
| 37 |
On my systems I only have /dev/{null,console} , and let udev managed the |
| 38 |
rest. |
| 39 |
When I do the install, I remove all the files in /dev (except those |
| 40 |
two), and run mount --bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev , then I do the install, |
| 41 |
and it works fine. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Is there any reason for not doing this, and then recommend that the |
| 44 |
users that don't use udev/devfs to run MAKEDEV ? |
