They can set CAP_SYS_BLOCK_ACCESS

*sigh* not the vserver. The root server would, and i dont want to 
restrict that. The idea is just that the cdrom contains a script that 
checks the harddisk for partitions, finds the "/" mounts it, checks
"/etc" for the hostname and network setup, and then start a vserver 
with the previously found "/" as the root of that vserver, and gives 
it the needed network setup. For this, the vserver does not need 
block access, and yet it would have all the /dev entries.
