Jerry, |

Once you disable "Automatically mount devfs at kernel boot", you need to |
| 45 |
enter the command 'rc-update add devfsd' to add the appropriate symlink to |
| 46 |
your /etc/rc.d/rc0.d directory. This will cause Gentoo to enable devfs at |
| 47 |
the appropriate time during bootup. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Note that the generated devfs system you get will be partially dependant |
| 50 |
on kernel modules that you have loaded. For example, I have sound modules |
| 51 |
loaded and the /dev/sound/* entries retain their permissions properly from |
| 52 |
boot to boot. |
