just migrated to sys-fs/udev-197 - everything went smoothly and seems to
work. the only observation at this time is absence of device file
/dev/root whilst both /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts are referring to that
device node:

# grep root /etc/mtab /proc/mounts
/etc/mtab:/dev/root / ext4 rw,relatime,commit=0 0 0
/proc/mounts:rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/proc/mounts:/dev/root / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

[i'm running 3.6.11-gentoo, proprietary nvidia, sys-fs/mdadm,
sys-fs/lvm2, with no initrd of any flavour; the system boots using
legacy grub; the root filesystem is on softraid device]

have i missed something?

thank you
