RE: /compat/linux/dev/null

["Alex Hornung" <ahornung@xxxxxxxxx>]

You should be mounting devfs in that directory. For convenience you can use
a null mount to achieve that.

Also, I'm currently working on a huge update of linuxulator, so if it
doesn't work, it might well be worth waiting a while or so for me to commit
the whole mess.

Cheers,
Alex
