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 :-).
