/dev/null should look like this (your date may differ, but the
rest should match).
$ ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Feb 14 2004 /dev/null
If it doesn't, use mknod, chown, and/or chmod to fix it.
If you're using gentoo, you're probably using udev. There should be a
line in /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions to create
/dev/null. It looks like this.
$ grep null /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions
null:root:root:0666
You might also check that you've got /dev and its subfilesystems
mounted and /dev is a ramfs filesystems.
$ grep ./dev /proc/mounts
none /dev ramfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
If /dev is not mounted correctly, you probably need to make sure that
both coldplug and hotplug's init scripts are run at boot time.
$ su
# rc-update show | grep plug
coldplug | boot
hotplug | boot
(This last bit is probably what you're missing.)
