yes, a simple mknod nfs b 0 1, corrects the problem

I had another problem when I start install the Kernel and configure
the modules; dinstall starts complain about the msdos module in order
to read the rescue image...

I took another kernel, and went on...


Now I have a plain debian installation; good, very good.

I installed the libc6, but wasn't able to install the libc6-dev,
because it need gcc-2.7.2-2; Eric, are you sure that I have only
to patch the gcc specs file?

Ciao
