Here is how to get those back:

GET SYS and PROC back First

Here’s a typical code snippet from the init script:

mount -t proc proc /proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
echo /sbin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
mdev -s
mount -t proc proc /proc mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys echo /sbin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug mdev -s
mount -t proc proc /proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
echo /sbin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
mdev -s

Alternatively, without procfs the above becomes:

mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/mdev
mdev -s
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/mdev mdev -s
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/mdev
mdev -s

NOTE: if you dont have mdev, then you will need to recreate each device with mknod. If you dont have mdev, but have udev, then you probably dont need to run anything as it will auto fill /dev with the devices – or you might need to ask udev to restart, or ask udev to re-read its config files to repopulate the /dev field. Here is an article on mknod and udev (and also mdev): mknod,mdev,udev

Get DEV and DEVPTS back Second

mount -t tmpfs -o size=64k,mode=0755 tmpfs /dev
mkdir /dev/pts
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
# might need to run after this:
mdev -s
mount -t tmpfs -o size=64k,mode=0755 tmpfs /dev mkdir /dev/pts mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts # might need to run after this: mdev -s
mount -t tmpfs -o size=64k,mode=0755 tmpfs /dev
mkdir /dev/pts
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts 
# might need to run after this:
mdev -s

NOTE: you will probably be okay to do “mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev” at step4.
