[SunHELP] /dev

[Alan Rubin]

when i copy the dev and devices directory from the cdrom bootup (not
directly from the disk, but the ones generated at bootup, i use the
following procedure:

cd /dev;find . -print|cpio -pdm target [ie /tmp/broot/dev]

Booting from cdrom and copying /dev to /dev on the boot disk does not work.  I could restore /dev from tape from a similar system; this should preserve the links but I'm not sure of the impact on the links to /devices.   Any ideas?
