## D.4.4.2. Install additional packages 

Now it’s required to install some additionally required packages, like makedev (needed for the next section): apt install makedev 

## D.4.4.3. Create device files 

At this point /dev/ only contains very basic device files. For the next steps of the installation addi- tional device files may be needed. There are different ways to go about this and which method you should use depends on the host system you are using for the installation, on whether you intend to use a modular kernel or not, and on whether you intend to use dynamic (e.g. using udev ) or static device files for the new system. 

A few of the available options are: 

• create a default set of static device files using (after chrooting) 

# mount none /proc -t proc # cd /dev # MAKEDEV generic or depending on your specific architecture: # MAKEDEV std # cd .. 

• manually create only specific device files using MAKEDEV 

• bind mount /dev from your host system on top of /dev in the target system, like: 

mount --bind dev /dev 

Note that the postinst scripts of some packages may try to create device files, so this option should only be used with care. 

## D.4.4.4. Mount Partitions 

You need to create /etc/fstab . 

# editor /etc/fstab 

Here is a sample you can modify to suit: 

# /etc/fstab: static file system information. #
