DEVFS is enabled but not mounted. After all the problem occurs way to early
if you don't say otherwise, devfs is _automagicaly_ mounted on /dev, and it
that you have some devices missing. Try running with
append=devfs=nomount

Sounds like you may have turned on support for devfs. You might want to turn that off until debian has a package for devfsd. Alternatively, if you have SCO login enabled, you can go into /dev and create symlinks from /dev/ide/bus0/unit0/part1 to /dev/hda1 etc... then exit and continue rebooting. I can't use it because the PCnet32 driver is completely broken. (though I have tested it using a pcmcia ethernet) -smj
