Anyone know the reason for the following boot errors?

mknod: failed to create /dev/console
mknod: failed to create /dev/null
mknod: failed to create /dev/zero

This is with FC4 running on an older Compaq SMART-2SL array.

The boot completes for runlevel 3, though it hangs if I try to go into runlevel 5.
