[Buildroot] cannot log to my build root

[Diego Iastrubni]

Nope. In my original case /dev/tty was not a char device (a null file
instead). Creating these files fixed the problem:

rm -fr $ROOT/dev/*


mknod $ROOT/dev/tty     c 5 0


mknod $ROOT/dev/console c 5 1


mknod $ROOT/dev/null    c 1 3


mknod $ROOT/dev/tty0    c 4 0


mknod $ROOT/dev/tty1    c 4 1


mknod $ROOT/dev/tty2    c 4 2


mknod $ROOT/dev/tty3    c 4 3


mknod $ROOT/dev/ttyS0   c 4 64

(I only need the very basic before udev starts).

If I write "/bin/sh" at /etc/init.d/rc.S I *do* get a working shell, so my
problem is with login.
