I can't remember.. -15 maybe?   Maybe I can boot up during lunch and check.

Ahh.. USB thats probally it.  I had all the stuff set up for /dev/sd?
but nothing for usb.

I'll fix that up and submit something to add to skeleton of buildrom.

Currently buildrom (with my proc patch) uses devices.txt and kbl to
both mount proc and to create all the device nodes.  Shall I rip out
the mkdev part of kbl into a standalone app that mounts proc and makes
the devs or create them with mknod in the boot script and then mount
them with mount?

IIRC the current buildrom (wo init) has about 23k avaialable.
