Does the device exist before busybox init runs or is it created in 
/etc/thinstation.init?  I had the same problem before.  If so, 2 
solutions.  1) Create beforehand.  2) Patch bb init.c.  I made a patch 
and posted it but later looked at it and there were a few errors in my 
quick coding and I haven't seen it in the bb unstable source yet.

No clue on question #2.
