I'm doing a remaster of knoppix 3.4 and have run into a slight problem... /dev/ doesn't have entries like /dev/input/* etc.
At what stage are the dev entries in the boot process generated? Its a bit strange because I've grepped /etc/* for MAKEDEV but it doesn't seem to be called by any of the startup scripts. I've havn't done any major surgery to linuxrc in the initrd and apart from adding a reiserfs module to the initrd I havn't changed anything there.

Any one care to tell me how/when the /dev entries are created??

Thanks.
