Well yeah, when you umount /dev, what do you think you see in there?
It's the contents of the dev package.
If I boot a non-devfs kernel, my system won't start the devfsd, since
/dev won't get mounted, using the device nodes that actually live on
the root filesystem. There's nothing wrong with how I'm using devfs/devfsd.
What's broken is the RH /etc/init.d/halt script, though only minorly
broken...
