Boot with devfs as usual. Mount your root fs again, say
#mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/tmp
and you will see your /dev as it is on disk (i.e. without devfs mounted over it) in /mnt/tmp/dev. Now, mknod everything you need.
BTW, NFS mount over loopback (127.0.0.1) works too. -- vda - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
