The /dev directory should be full of files! It is inlikely that you can boot 
if the /dev directroy is empty.

I have got one:

la  /dev/ptypd
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     tty        2,  13 2003-09-23 19:59 /dev/ptypd

And this should give you one as well:

mknod /dev/ptypd c 2 13 
chown root:tty /dev/ptypd 
chmod a=rw  /dev/ptypd  

Hope it helps

Martin
