I did:
# cd /mnt/cf/dev
# ls -l n*

And I get the same as you have, with a different date.

crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root       1,   3 Feb 28 18:58 null


Moving onwards slightly, I assume it wouldn't be too difficult to edit
the files in rc2.d to stop Opie from starting - giving a 5,4,3,2,1 sort
of option like the Sharp ROM has? Is this worth doing, would it help?,
as it still doesn't seem to be working.

I could also try using a known good version of mknod I suppose, just in
case the rumour I heard was correct.

Thanks for humouring me,
