Hello,


In the rc.devfs script, the  presence of a /dev/.devfsd node is tested
before  lauching devfsd.  It  seems to  expect  it to  be a  character
device.

Well, after  intensive search  in the documentation,  HOWTO, mail-list
archives, and  linux kernel sources, I've  found no hint as  to how to
create it.

What  should be  the major  and minor  for the  /dev/.devfsd character
device?
