Oh, udev creates things like /dev/disk/*, but it seems I wrongfully
though it would create all the missing nodes.  Per
<http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter07/udev.html>,
seems we may need to mount /dev as devtmpfs as you wrote.

(And I thought devtmpfs was the deprecated thing, but no, it=E2=80=99s devfs
that=E2=80=99s deprecated.  Oh well.)
