I'm all confused now :-(

I've dissabled devfs in BB and I'm getting another error now :-(.

Geode ~ $ mount /boot/stage3-python.squash /mnt/stage3-python/
mount: Mounting /boot/stage3-python.squash on /mnt/stage3-python/ failed: 
Block device required

I've tried BB on my stage1 (it's a minimal setup with only ash, mount and 
chroot) like this:
Geode ~ $ /mnt/stage1/bin/busybox 
mount /boot/stage3-python.squash /mnt/stage3-python/
and it works.

I thought it's my config on the 'big' stage2 BB (version 1.1.2) but compiling 
it with the stage1 config generates the same error.

Are there any changes in mount from 1.1.0 till 1.1.2?

//BB stage1 (works)
Geode ~ $ /mnt/stage1/bin/busybox 
BusyBox v1.1.0 (2006.03.19-13:36+0000) multi-call binary

//BB stage2 (unable to detect loop-dev's)
Geode ~ $ /bin/busybox    
BusyBox v1.1.2 (2006.05.10-14:06+0000) multi-call binary

cheers Alex
