That's normal; DevFS does not exist for 2.2, which is why we hacked
around that with a userspace DevFS emulation. It's very ugly, but it
works; the only thing is that you will see that error message during
bootup while booting a 2.2 kernel. Nothing wrong with that, that's
expected.

It worked for me...
Not specifically on an LC475, though, and those are (IIRC) reported to
have a 68LC040 processor rather than a 'full' 68040. Is yours swapped
out for a real one? If not, then it probably won't work at all; you'll
get bus errors all the time.

None that I know of...
