I want to confirm that it DOES 'just work' with this one little thingy I missed: I needed to add TWO boot flags because of the way I have my kernel configured: 'nodevfs' AND 'devfs=nomount'. Without the 'devfs=nomount' flag the kernel was starting devfsd anyway, which keeps udev from working, apparently. So, Greg, please be nice to Martin, who is working hard to get gentoo people out of your mailbox. Thanks to both of you, and Happy New Year!
