i dont use initrd. the kernel understands argument 'root=/dev/...', so
/dev should exist, mb not in a real filesystem, but just in ram or
something. i just want to know what devices are available for being
the root filesystem for the kernel (displaying all available devices
will be enough for me).

Case 1: You do not use an initrd/initramfs:
/ is empty, /dev does not exist.
Case 2: You do use an initrd/initramfs
You populated /dev during creation of the initrd/initramfs image OR
your init script inside the initrd/initramfs mknods the nodes when run.
