    31 
    32     <para>The recommended method of populating the <filename
    33     class="directory">/dev</filename> directory with devices is to
    34     mount a virtual filesystem (such as <systemitem
    35     class="filesystem">tmpfs</systemitem>) on the <filename
    36     class="directory">/dev</filename> directory, and allow the devices
    37     to be created dynamically on that virtual filesystem as they are
    38     detected or accessed. This is generally done during the boot process.
    39     Since this new system has not been booted, it is necessary to do what
    40     the LFS-Bootscripts package would otherwise do by mounting <filename
    41     class="directory">/dev</filename>:</para>
    42 
    43 <screen><userinput>mount -n -vt tmpfs none /dev</userinput></screen>
    44 
    45     <para>The Udev package is what actually creates the devices in the
    46     <filename class="directory">/dev</filename> directory. Since it will
    47     not be installed until later on in the process, manually create the
    48     minimal set of device nodes needed to complete the building of this
    49     system:</para>

    59 
    60     <para>There are some symlinks and directories required by LFS that
    61     are created during system startup by the LFS-Bootscripts package. Since
    62     this is a chroot environment and not a booted environment, those symlinks
    63     and directories need to be created here:</para>

    37   chroot environment. To keep the host up to date, perform a <quote>fake
    38   mount</quote> for each of these now:</para>
     36  <para>Two device nodes, /dev/console and /dev/null, are required to be
     37  present on the filesystem.  These are needed by the kernel even before
     38  starting Udev early in the boot process, so we create them here:</para>

     42
     43  <para>Once the system is complete and booting, the rest of our device
     44  nodes are created by the Udev package.  Since this package is not
     45  available to us right now, we must take other steps to provide device
     46  nodes under on the LFS filesystem.  We will use the <quote>bind</quote>
     47  option in the mount command to make our host system's /dev structure
     48  appear in the new LFS filesystem:</para>
