Actually I was wrong.
What I had to do was ./MAKEDEV ramdisk in dev/ of my build.
I took it for granted init will build all the entries automatically as I seen 
it happen on the boot floppy.
I read the /.profile of it and there is nothing there mentioned about creating 
the devices.
The dev/ dir of /usr/obj/distrib/i386/floppies/ramdisk-big/work has only 
MAKEDEV in it too.

Any idea how the floppy ramdisk can generate all the dev files on the fly ?
I used it with the same kernel as I use for my build so the kernel config has 
nothing to do with it.
