Yes, use sys-fs/static-dev (unless you have some special boot |
| 6 |
requirements). |

The bootloader needs to find the kernel and possible the initrd/ |
| 12 |
initramfs if you use them. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Then kernel needs (depending on your setup) to find the root |
| 15 |
filesystem and then /sbin/init. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
And init needs to start up the rest of the system. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The above have been working wery well for a long time, but if you don't |
| 20 |
use udev and initrd et al, most (all?) distributions don't help you |
| 21 |
anymore with it; you have to know yourself how to do it. |
