Description
Our mdev.conf may not be the best example of how to do an mdev.conf. Based on this mailing list thread (http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2009-November/070889.html), the busybox people feel we may have an older version of an example mdev.conf that could not be exploiting all the features of mdev.
Take a look at if mdev.conf should be updated to better fit with current busybox ideals.
The current mdev.conf works for me, so this isn't a huge priority.

In my repo (http://git.cross-lfs.org/?p=abradford/clfs-embedded.git), three commits update mdev.conf and revert the commit that removed the mknod'ing of /dev/console and /dev/null.
Commit numbers are: 111f2c62a7d0fd409c12417aedc7313d0b95deac, 4d261af39d6ef04839271f30ef97a227b4351c0d, 0e05c5c71025f637f18989a5452e3a1e198cca7b
If these are accepted into the mainline embedded book, this ticket can be closed. Further improvements to mdev.conf should be another ticket (if needed).

Alpine Linux uses Busybox and has an example mdev.conf that could be useful to base ours off of: http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports.git/plain/main/busybox-initscripts/mdev.conf?h=2.1-stable
May also need to revert commit 08718a41c516aff0a0e02a8267b0190b456f0d9d that removed the mknod'ing of /dev/null and /dev/console. My beagleboard-xm doesn't appear to need those nodes created before starting mdev but sjs205's board does or else there's no output to the serial console, only the video console.
