init calls /dev/MAKEDEV or /etc/MAKEDEV when /dev/console
cannot be accessed. The script then creates a union mount.
This happens before single-user.

But /sbin/umount -f /dev is successful, so a working sequence to
recover the real /dev is:

boot single-user
umount -f /dev
fsck -p /
mount /
cd dev
./MAKEDEV
