	You need to find some other way to boot (floppy etc), mount the
	HD root filesystem on /mnt, then
	mkdir /mnt/dev
	cp /dev/MAKEDEV /mnt/dev
	cd /mnt/dev
	./MAKEDEV all

	If you do not have a /dev/MAKEDEV on your boot media, you'll need
	to extract it from the 1.3 tarfile (or find a friendly arm32 1.3
	user to send you a copy :)
