@ -17,12 +17,12 @@ updates, you also need to have hotplugging enabled in your kernel.
Here's a typical code snippet from the init script:
[0] mount -t proc proc /proc
[1] mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
[2] echo /bin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
[2] echo /sbin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
[3] mdev -s
Alternatively, without procfs the above becomes:
[1] mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
[2] sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/bin/mdev
[2] sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/mdev
[3] mdev -s
@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ code snippet:
[6] mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
The simple explanation here is that [1] you need to have /sys mounted before
executing mdev. Then you [2] instruct the kernel to execute /bin/mdev whenever
executing mdev. Then you [2] instruct the kernel to execute /sbin/mdev whenever
a device is added or removed so that the device node can be created or
destroyed. Then you [3] seed /dev with all the device nodes that were created
while the system was booting.
