[BusyBox] Start up problems

[Greg Lindberg]

Here is what I'm doing to build the /dev directory:

mknod -m 777 ram0 b 1 0
mknod -m 777 ram1 b 1 1
mknod -m 777 ram2 b 1 2
mknod -m 777 ram3 b 1 3
mknod -m 777 initrd b 1 250
mknod -m 600 mem c 1 1
mknod -m 666 null c 1 3
mknod -m 666 zer0 c 1 5
mknod -m 644 random c 1 8
mknod -m 600 tty0 c 4 0
mknod -m 600 ttyS0 c 4 64
mknod -m 600 ttyS2 c 4 65
mknod -m 600 ttyS3 c 4 66
mknod -m 666 tty c 5 0
#mknod -m 600 console c 5 1
ln /dev/ttyS0 console

I also had the same problem when specifying 'console=ttyS0' on the Linux
command line.
