[Buildroot] devtmpfs and initramfs

 Hoi all,

 I'm using an initramfs as the root filesystem image, and devtmpfs for the 
devices.  However, it turns out that devtmpfs doesn't get mounted 
automatically if the root filesystem is an initramfs (at least in 2.6.35).

 I ended up adding the following to my inittab:

null::sysinit:/bin/mount -t devtmpfs devtmpfs /dev


 Does anyone know a more elegant solution?

 Regards,
 Arnout
