That is exacctly what I was looking for.  Thank you very much.  The problem
with a swiss-army knife is sometimes it is hard to figure out what all tools
are included.

mdev is the route to go for dynamic device nod creation for 
embedded/busybox 2.6 based systems. but be sure you still have 
the base nods urandom,zero,stdin,stdout,stderr,null,ttyS0 there anyway.

Example conf used when I initially slapped the conf logic together.
Not sure how much Rob changed it however from where I left off. 
I think he only extended on it allow it to shell out etc..
