How do I enable devfs?
If you’re using 1.0_rc5 or greater, you don’t need to do anything special to get devfs working; it’s already active (you did make sure that devfs was built into the kernel, didn’t you?). However, if you are using a version of Gentoo Linux prior to version 1.0_rc5, add devfs=mount to your GRUB kernel boot options so that the line looks something like kernel /boot/boot/bzImage devfs=mount foo=bar The kernel will then mount the /dev devfs filesystem automatically at boot-time.
