I'm currently running with devtmpfs only but am looking into using mdev
so I spent some time looking at my device usage and for the life of me
I can't find where /dev/console gets created during the build process.
Looking at the root filesystem when it's not running shows this in /dev
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 1 15:26 pts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 1 15:26 log -> ../tmp/log
crw--w--w- 1 root root 5, 1 Mar 22 21:52 console
and I see that pts and log come from the skeleton but I can't find console.
I'm running an x86_64 system using the default vga console if that matters.
I'm obviously missing something but I can't find a mknod or mkdevs for it.
Where is /dev/console created when using devtmpfs?
Thanks,
Steve
