I have detected that there is an entry in dev-wiki which tells that we need
devices in dev for a working devfsd. I don't think so. On my current rc5
system it work really good whithout normal device-files...

But you have devfs build in your kernel. If you use devfs as a module
you need some basic devices,
otherwise init does not start.

DevFS as module... Why build as module when i need it every time...

I understand when people build cd-rom-drivers, floppy or parport-drivers as
module... but a essential driver like DevFS... mhh
