you first need to get the kernel and patch it with the devfs patch. then
link that to /usr/src/linux so that the headers contain devfs stuff.
now you should be able to install it. if you want, there is an rpm of
devfs on
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/sgilinux-combined/download/sgipropack1.3/latest/RPMS/devfsd-1.3.8-3SGI_31.i386.rpm
I should be respinning a new one with 1.3.10 soon.
but, if you don't want to use the rpm, the way to install it is:
1) put the devfsd.conf in /etc
2) put devfsd in /sbin
3) edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and put way near the top (like before
trying to mount HD's), a line
action "Starting the Device File System Daemon" /sbin/devfsd /dev
and you should be good to go.
