+# When building a target filesystem, it is desirable to not have to
+# become root and then run 'mknod' a thousand times.  Using a device 
+# table you can create device nodes and directories "on the fly".
+#
+# This is a sample device table file for use with mkcramfs.  You can
+# do all sorts of interesting things with a device table file.  For
+# example, if you want to adjust the permissions on a particular file
+# you can just add an entry like:
+#   /sbin/foobar	f	2755	0	0	-	-	-	-	-
+# and (assuming the file /sbin/foobar exists) it will be made setuid
+# root (regardless of what its permissions are on the host filesystem.
+# Furthermore, you can use a single table entry to create a many device
+# minors.  For example, if I wanted to create /dev/hda and /dev/hda[0-15]
+# I could just use the following two table entries:
+#   /dev/hda	b	640	0	0	3	0	0	0	-
+#   /dev/hda	b	640	0	0	3	1	1	1	15
+# 
+# Device table entries take the form of:
+# <name>    <type>	<mode>	<uid>	<gid>	<major>	<minor>	<start>	<inc>	<count>
+# where name is the file name,  type can be one of: 
+#	f	A regular file
+#	d	Directory
+#	c	Character special device file
+#	b	Block special device file
+#	p	Fifo (named pipe)
+# uid is the user id for the target file, gid is the group id for the
+# target file.  The rest of the entries (major, minor, etc) apply only 
+# to device special files.
