Perhaps it is time to bring it back. But not all possible devices. The minimum would be the device where grub will be writing the MBR, usually hda or sda. I believe there are two issues here. What devices are necessary when building LFS within chroot and are the full set of devices created properly upon boot of the LFS system. They can be the same, but it is not strictly necessary. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
