I think, makedev.


research follows:


In fact, debootstrap devices.tar.gz is alarmingly small. I don't think
this is enough number of device nodes...
no hdX and sdX???

$ tar tfz /usr/lib/debootstrap/devices.tar.gz
dev/
dev/kmem
dev/mem
dev/core
dev/null
dev/port
dev/zero
dev/ram
dev/full
dev/random
dev/urandom
dev/tty
dev/ram0
dev/ram1
dev/ram2
dev/ram3
dev/ram4
dev/ram5
dev/ram6

cdebootstrap does 'MAKEDEV generic', and it doesn't seem to be
generating /dev/stdin.


In fact, I think MAKEDEV fd (which should be creating /dev/stdin etc.)
is broken for some reason. Why?

root at dancer64:/dev# /sbin/MAKEDEV fd
root at dancer64:/dev#
root at dancer64:/dev# ls -l stdin
ls: stdin: No such file or directory
