Ignore the first (it dosent exist, it's really a virtual filesystem to
allow access to information in the kernel), and tar the others up,
something like:

"tar pO - /dev | tar pxv -C /mnt"
and:

"tar pO - /home/ftp/dev | tar pxv -C /mnt"
assuming the filesystem your moving it to is mounted on /mnt.
