You moust install the devfsd package and add "devfs=mount " (if you use the default kernel or you don't have set the AUTOMOUNT on boot option in your kernel) to your boot options. If you need devices that are not handled by devfs you can create them in /etc/devfs and the devfs start-script copies them after devfsd has started to /dev. Re/Storing of device permissions is on my ToDO list. I use devfs since a month or so without problems. achim~ > > > --Jerry > > name: Jerry Alexandratos || Open-Source software isn't a > phone: 703.599.6023 || matter of life or death... > email: jerry@thehutt.org || ...It's much more important > || than that! > > _______________________________________________ > gentoo-dev mailing list > gentoo-dev@gentoo.org > http://www.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
