I can't specifically answer your questions at this point but I have the
impression that the contents of /dev are now generated automatically on
boot (or by running /etc/init.d/udev restart). Check out the docs in
/usr/share/doc/udev ... theres a lot to read.
I had the problem that my cdrom (/dev/hdc) didn't show up ... there was
no /dev/hdc ... it turns out that I needed to install the ide-cd module
by hand (or at least arrange for its install).
So once I did 'modprobe ide-cd' and then a '/etc/init.d/udev restart' (I
don't know that the restart was actually necessary). I ended up with a
brand new shiny /dev/hdc and was able to use my device again.
My officemate took a different tack ... he just did 'apt-get remove
udev' and a reboot and got his device back. Check out the
README.Debian.gz ... it has some pointers.
I figure I will keep udev since its the way its going to be in the
future I guess.
