Yeah, my initramfs does that for me. You can add that to the start of the
script if you want. (Consider it GPL.)
I suppose I should add that to my mdev todo list. Make sure /sys is
mounted... (Hmmm... Probably just document the requirement that /sys
and /dev be mounted before running mdev? I don't think I want to glue _two_
mounts into mdev. And that implies that all the symlink and directory
creation belongs in whatever script mounts /sys and /dev. Which means a
scalable bbsh is important, which was already a high-profile todo item of
mine for 1.2...)
I'll have to come up with an example initscript for this. (In fact, I'm
thinking of coming up with an example initramfs setup for busybox 1.2,
complete with initramfs.txt for the cpio.gz to be generated from by the
kernel build. It'll need a working switch_root, mdev, init.sh, bbsh, and
busybox and uclibc .config files...)

I do not think it means what you think it means.
