...I have not been able to get udev working yet...
Hmm, It works fine here? I was under the impression that it should _just_work_ if you have latest everything unstable...
Yes! I want to confirm that it DOES 'just work' with this one little thingy I missed:
I needed to add TWO boot flags because of the way I have my kernel configured: 'nodevfs' AND 'devfs=nomount'.
Without the 'devfs=nomount' flag the kernel was starting devfsd anyway, which keeps udev from working, apparently.
So, Greg, please be nice to Martin, who is working hard to get gentoo people out of your mailbox.
Thanks to both of you, and Happy New Year!

Hmm, right, that will do it.
Perhaps I could change this to display a warning if udev is present, but devfs is mounted over /dev ...
