I'd heard of rdev before, but never looked into it - and always assumed
it was totally obsolete.

However, when I saw that the root device on my newly compiled Linux
kernel was (3,5) I thought I'd investigate.  That translates to
/dev/hda5, which is the current root device on the development machine. 
Investigating with rdev then verified this was in my image, as was a
default RAMdisk size of 0 (huh?).

I realize that SYSLINUX can set these; however, I thought it best to use
rdev to set them to something more useful (like /dev/fd0u1680 and 4096
respectively).

Has anyone else been using rdev?  What are the caveats to using rdev?
