I have a problem with a new system (no backup yet).  The /dev directory =
was blown away.  My question is how to restore /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? =20
Thanks
