Creating these files fixed the problem: This is because you are using the output/target/ directory, but you should *not* do this. From the Buildroot documentation: ? 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. Instead, you should use one of the images built in the images/ directory. If you need an extracted image of the root filesystem for booting over NFS, then use the tarball image generated in images/ and extract it as root. ?
