Fortunately this is easily solved since there is a make target for dev. So 
add "make dev" to the ebuild and it should be good.

fixed in portage, though I have a suspicion that it should be done with devfsd conf files.

it doesnt really get created because sandbox prevents it

Comment 3 Nick Hadaway 2003-06-30 12:32:19 UTC

If devfs is running (which should be on almost ALL gentoo installations) then the device will be created automagically if there is a 1394 card to be found and the associated driver insmod/modprobe'd.

doing the mknod in the ebuild is a waste UNLESS you are running a non-devfs system.

devfs will handle this
