No, all of the /dev/null reliance has been fixed. You just don't get any console output if you don't have that device node present until init finishes. But I did just check, and I do have 2 device nodes in my /dev/ I'll work on making things work better if they aren't present... thanks, greg k-h -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
