I don't think this has to do with ext3, since my root xfs partition can't be mounted either.

I disabled mount at root and created some device nodes, but it still doesn't work, befor that I had pure devfs. Reading the config help for devfs says it's obsoleted, and stripped down to a "bare minimum to not break anyting". Does that "bare minimum" include hard disks?
