As per the<http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/devfs-guide.xml> and
<http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml> I recompiled my kernel
with pts support, installed udev, and used rc-update to remove devfs
from sysinit.
Everything seems to work fine, except that I can't create xterms. If I
start up devfs, xterm creation is fine.
FWICT, devfs "mounts" /dev/pts , so how do we mount /dev/pts in a post
devfs world?
I just deleted several paragraphs of fatherly advice from this reply after
I noticed /lib/rc/init.d/started/devfs on my machine :-/
I soon discovered that /etc/init.d/devfs belongs to the sys-apps/openrc
package, which is not obsolete the way "devfs" is obsolete.
This is what I have:
#eselect rc list sysinit
Init scripts to be started by runlevel sysinit
devfs
dmesg
udev
Thanks for asking the question -- I just learned something :)
