Setting udev_root to a different 'dir'

Setting udev_root to a different 'dir'

[Beau E. Cox]

Hello -

I just upgraded to kernel 2.6.4 on my Sorcerer Linux. Sorcerer
uses devfs.

I installed udev 022. Using the sample scripts and conf files provided
I have sucessfully convered devfs -> udev.

However, try as I may, I cannot get udev to use mount point
'/devices'. udev _insists_ upon using mountpoint '/udev' even
though I have changed all references from '/udev' to '/devices'.

I removed devfs from my kernel and udev still won't setup on
'/devices'. Here are the files I changed '/udev' to '/devices':

/etc/udev/udev.conf:

Am I missing something?
