28 <para os="b">When the kernel boots the system, it requires the presence
29 of a few device nodes, in particular the <filename
30 class="devicefile">console</filename> and <filename
31 class="devicefile">null</filename> devices. The device nodes will
32 be created on the hard disk so that they are available before
33 <command>udev</command> has been started, and additionally when Linux
34 is started in single user mode (hence the restrictive permissions on
35 <filename class="devicefile">console</filename>). Create these by running
36 the following commands:</para>
37
38<screen><userinput>mknod -m 0600 ${CLFS}/dev/console c 5 1
39mknod -m 0666 ${CLFS}/dev/null c 1 3
40mknod -m 0666 ${CLFS}/dev/zero c 1 5</userinput></screen>
41
42 <para>When Systemd starts a tmpfs filesystem is mounted over
43 <filename class="directory">/dev</filename> and the previous entries are
44 no-longer available. The following command creates files that are copied
45 over when udevd starts:</para>
46
47<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/lib/udev/devices/{pts,shm}
48mknod -m 0600 ${CLFS}/lib/udev/devices/console c 5 1
