This is mentioned not only in the release notes for x86, but also in the Handbook.

This is a function of udev.

Comment 2 Karl H 2006-03-16 12:44:20 UTC

Why can the mknod not be in the device node tarball?  or on  boot the device nodes are created automaticly...
mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0
mknod /dev/md1 b 9 1

IIRC Other distros do this. 

Everytime i boot into rescue mode with the live cd, or start a new install. Even 2006.0  i have to manually create the dev nodes.

We don't use the tarball on our CDs is probably a start.
