Your system is probably using udev rather than a static /dev. See if you have a line like this: none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 in /proc/mounts. That means that /dev is a tmpfs filesystem and isn't stored anywhere permanently. It gets created at boot time. Try reading here: http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html -- C.
