No, no entry in /etc/fstab. What I usually do when setting this up: boot from some other medium (in my case typically with / on NFS), then mount the real root disk on /mnt, and then something like: mv /mnt/dev/MAKEDEV /mnt/etc find /mnt/dev -type c | xargs rm find /mnt/dev -type b | xargs rm Usually on systems where I do this I also edit /mnt/etc/fstab and add "noatime" to the / mount line (but this is unrelated). On reboot init(8) will notice that /dev is not properly populated, create a uninon mounted tmpfs on /dev and populate if from /etc/MAKEDEV. Martin
