What if the /dev doesn't exist yet? Chicken and egg
problem. /etc/makedev.d/* contains a list of devices to create when
the module is loaded.
/dev comes from the initrd, so it basically always exists. But this is
a post-udev world, so if nothing has asked to build that device node
there, it won't be there, and no amount of waiting will help.
