How practical would it be to compile devfs and include devfsd in the
bootfloppies?
on my system, devfsd is 33k, 15k after gzip. This would let b-f get rid of
/dev/*, and could make for more reliable installation scripts (i.e, once
you've inserted the module you can forget about whether there's a dev entry).
I'm not sure if bootfloppies is using a 2.4 kernel, though. Probably not,
considering the massive increase in size between 2.2 and 2.4.
