-This directory (/mnt/tmpfs/dev on the root filesystem) will
-be brutally overriden when the tmpfs is mounted. Its only
-purpose is to provide an initial /dev/console to the kernel
-when it starts process 1.
-The directory should contain a working /dev/console device!
-
- init-stage1 will close all handles to this /dev/console,
-then mount the tmpfs and copy the tmpfs image to the tmpfs
-- the image contains a full version of /dev, which will then
-be used.
- This trick is necessary to have a working read-write /dev
-when you have a root-only filesystem and when you cannot or
-do not want to rely on fancy Linux-specific tricks such as
-devtmpfs.
