I was trying to avoid altogether having a tempfs /dev that I'd have to
recreate every session, until LFS is bootable that is.

What I had in mind was just commenting out the tempfs mount to /dev and
letting the book instructions (6.8? I'm on a way different computer
without reference to the book right now.) create what it needs on the
real /dev, there for every session. And if there was some unexpected
restart situation, it's still there. I hope that's OK?

Yes, I forgot to add it, but I've had situations where -e didn't work as
expected, so now I do both actually.

Thanks, I was trying for a Q&D check and wasn't sure that would work. I
actually have it in the hosts fstab, so I'll just trust that. I expect
I'll just boot the host, login, run this "chroot" script, & continue
building the next package, so there are shouldn't be any wierd
circumstances to check for.

Right, this script is just for building Ch6 from the start and through
package building. When I get near the end I'll change it.

Right after building the FHS?
