Now, after reboot the device special files are fine. ?
I tried both cold and warm booting, with both a usb and a ps2 keyboard attached (just in case). The device special files came up right each time. However, once when using the 'halt' command the machine crashed and I got this on the console: It would not respond to the reset button and required a cold boot.
