I made a huge mistake while upgrading to 2.2.8. I had a very old (circa 2.2.5) MAKEDEV script in /dev. sh MAKEDEV created disk entries that are just plain wrong. Right now root_device is mounted -ro on /. 'mount -u /' gives me 'Specified device does not match mounted device'. I want to try to get the proper MAKEDEV and redo 'sh MAKEDEV', but I obviously can't write to /dev. My questions are: How can I get root_device to mount -rw? or better yet: If I'm going about this the wrong way, what is the right way?
