When in calculation there is all conceivable optimization of resources dispute
devfs vs
/dev, certainly wins my method: minimal /dev and creation of the necessary
special files 
of devices in starting script. And differently - what sense with such work to
optimize (bb)
everything else if we so shall be lost memory on rather significant size of a
code (devfs)?  

As for me it is completely not clear, what for on creation of a boot disks the
kernel
contains in examples minixfs with ext2fs. Hmmm...
