Confirmed. Something about this procedure with 2.6.8-rc4 is hosing
/dev/null, and I have to delete it and mknod again. Is this a known
bug, or have I discovered something that everybody's known about
forever, and I should slink away. Or maybe I don't understand how to
build/install 2.6 correctly?

I hear YDL-4 won't support BootX - is this convenience or is
something now permanently broken for old-world and kernel 2.6?
