What do you mean you don't use devfsd? Have you modified your init scripts?
from /sbin/rc:
einfo "The Gentoo Linux system initialization scripts have detected
that your"
einfo "kernel has been compiled without DEVFS support. Because Gentoo
Linux"
einfo "has been designed to work with DEVFS, it is required that you
compile"
einfo "support for it into your kernel. Please read the 'Gentoo Linux
from"
einfo "source (build) CD Installation Guide' at:"
echo
einfo " http://www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html";
echo
einfo "for more information on how to do this."
Anyway, I'm using devfsd. But I have that /dev/root thingy too :-/
$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 514028 328776 185252 64% /
$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/discs/disc0/part5 /boot minix noauto,noatime 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part7 /usr reiserfs ro,noatime

/dev/discs/disc0/part8 /var reiserfs noatime
0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part9 / reiserfs noatime

/dev/md/0 /home jfs
noatime 0 1
And grub:
title=Gentoo GNU/Linux
kernel /r5 root=/dev/discs/disc0/part9 vga=0x0f07 quiet
Soooo... How do I turn that /dev/root crap off?
Thanks,
