OK, although only /dev/console is required in the rootfs, the other
device nodes can be created later in the tmpfs filesystem. So if I
understand correctly, the goal was to avoid the warning message
when booting with a non-unix friendly filesystem exported with NFS,
used as root filesystem for Linux based systems... Never thought
about that possibility :-).
