Traditionally /dev was populated by MAKEDEV (in package makedev), IIRC. umount /dev; busybox mdev -s should also provide a locally appropriate /dev. (mdev is part of busybox and Debian enables it, but there is not a package with a ready-to-use mdev symlink and /etc/mdev.conf yet. Defaults are somewhat usable, but don't have groups or permissions set as Debian would do.) mdev has two functions: mdev -s will populate /dev based on what /sys says; mdev with no arguments uses the hotplug interface, whereby the kernel automatically runs it on hardware addition with an environment equivalent to the contents of /sys/.../uevent. If you disable the hotplug interface via procfs, you can use mdev -s the way you'd use MAKEDEV.
