Believe it when I tell you
that your machine needs more than just /dev/console in order to boot.Not true.So how does it work? In my naive mind there would be some initial devices on the initial ramdisk, then at some point things are switched over to my /dev on HD. I just don't know exactly when udev steps in.
I don't use a ramdisk. I think the boot device is hardcoded in the kernel image (or else supplied by the bootloader).
Any pointers to where I can find out?
I wish I knew. Besides debian.org, you might try sites like www.debian-administration.org and www.debianplanet.org. Let me know if you find anything.
