Slight correction: Despite what I said before, CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT is not mentioned in the book. Maybe this doesn't matter since as long as the root filesystem can be mounted, I would think the LFS bootscript mountvirtfs or /etc/fstab would handle it. What the book mentions is the setting with the prompt: "Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev", which is actually CONFIG_DEVTMPFS The prompt for CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT is: "Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs" In my first pass at kernel configuration, I had CONFIG_DEVTMPFS set (as suggested), but CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT was not set (just rechecked the config file). That config had issues, but maybe not due to this. thanks!
