/dev/null and /dev/console, since the kernel needs the latter to open
the initial console and pass that to init.

I just found that some (398) packages which seem to be build from
upstream sources contain a bad version string. e.g.:
adolc_1.8.7-3.tar.gz
an_0.93-1.2.tar.gz
an_0.93-2.tar.gz
animals_19991226-4.1.tar.gz
aolserver_3.0rc2-4.tar.gz
apache-perl_1.3.12-1-1.24-2.tar.gz
apache-perl_1.3.9-13.1-1.21
