Don't have any references pages, here's all I did:
1) compile in devfs
2) when booting, add the line devfs=nomount at the LILO prompt.
Now you don't have to do this anymore, as someone has made
nomount the default for devfs, so don't worry about it until
someone changes it again :)
3) after the system is up, just mount devfs where ever you want:
mount -t devfs none /devfs
(remember to create the /devfs directory first)
Then play around with the /devfs filesystem. No problems. /dev is still
there, so all your normal distribution scripts work just fine.
If you like it, make devfs always mount at /devfs:
add the following line to /etc/fstab:
none /devfs devfs defaults 0 0
Then you don't have to even do step 3 anymore.
Hope this helps someone out.
