Aaargggh, no!

From the Buildroot manual:

   target/ which contains almost the complete root filesystem for the
   target: everything needed is present except the device files
   in /dev/ (Buildroot can?t create them because Buildroot doesn?t run
   as root and doesn?t want to run as root). Therefore, this directory
   should not be used on your target.

Please enable a tarball root filesystem image, and then extract is as
root on the partition of your memory card.

Best regards,

Thomas
