<para>When the kernel boots the system, it requires the presence of a few device
|
|
nodes, in particular the console and null devices:</para>

<screen><userinput>mknod -m 600 /dev/console c 5 1

mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3</userinput></screen>

<title>Mounting ramfs and populating /dev</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The ideal way to populate /dev is to mount a ramfs onto /dev (like tmpfs, but it
|
|
cannot be swapped) and create the devices on there during each bootup. Since we haven't
|
|
booted the system, we have to do what the bootscripts would otherwise do for us, and
|
|
populate /dev ourselves. Begin by mounting /dev:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>mount -n -t ramfs none /dev</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Now use the provided udevstart utility to create the initial devices based on
|
|
all the information in /sys:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>/tools/sbin/udevstart</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>There are some symlinks and directories required by LFS that are not created by
|
|
Udev, so we create those ourselves here:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>ln -s /proc/self/fd /dev/fd
|
|
ln -s /proc/self/fd/0 /dev/stdin
|
|
ln -s /proc/self/fd/1 /dev/stdout
|
|
ln -s /proc/self/fd/2 /dev/stderr
|
|
ln -s /proc/kcore /dev/core
|
|
mkdir /dev/pts
|
|
mkdir /dev/shm</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Finally, mount the proper virtual (kernel) file systems on the directories we just
|
|
created:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>mount -t devpts -o gid=4,mode=620 none /dev/pts
|
|
mount -t tmpfs none /dev/shm</userinput></screen>
