+<para>Also, if earlier in Chapter 6 you were unable to mount the devpts
+filesystem because your host uses devfs, we will now mount that devfs
+system over top of this new static /dev structure.  This poses no problems,
+as the device nodes created are still present, they are just hidden by the
+new devfs filesystem.  Run the following command to mount devfs, if necessary:
