quoted from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml#doc_chap3 : [quote] Code Listing 3.1: Listing device nodes available at boot # mkdir test # mount --bind / test # cd test/dev # ls The devices needed for a successful boot are /dev/null and /dev/console. If they didn't show up in the previous test, you have to create them manually. Issue the following commands in the test/ directory created previously: Code Listing 3.2: Creating necessary device node files # mknod -m 660 dev/console c 5 1 # mknod -m 660 dev/null c 1 3 When you're finished, don't forget to unmount the test/ directory: Code Listing 3.3: Unmounting the test/ directory # umount test [/quote] If I follow the step word by word I will get: # umount test umount: test: not found
Created attachment 32127 [details, diff] patch for udev-guide.xml This patch should do it.
Fixed with: <pre caption="Creating necessary device node files"> -# <i>mknod -m 660 dev/console c 5 1</i> -# <i>mknod -m 660 dev/null c 1 3</i> +# <i>mknod -m 660 console c 5 1</i> +# <i>mknod -m 660 null c 1 3</i> </pre> [...] <pre caption="Unmounting the test/ directory"> +# <i>cd ../..</i> # <i>umount test</i> +# <i>rmdir test</i> </pre> Thanks.
Camille, add this too: - Issue the following commands in the test/ directory created previously: + Issue the following commands in the test/dev/ directory created previously: Thanks.
Done
