[devel] Fwd: Re: CONFIG_DEVTMPFS

	Здравствуйте.
А ведь поляки правы -- базовые статические записи в /dev
можно засунуть и в udev, если он становится обязательным
в системе.

We have udev package providing the minimum required to launch shells
(/dev/zero, /dev/console etc.). It's all nice but still requires
initramfs to create its own device nodes. In case of DEVTMPFS you
don't have to do anything at boot time, just chmod the nodes after
switch_root (or let udev rules do it) :)
