setup: etc/fstab - devfs is obsolete now

[Elan Ruusamäe]

as long as rc-scripts supports devfs, it's not obsolete. and the entry is 
noauto so it doesn't cause any side effect (imho)

but with your change people running custom 2.4 kernel with devfs, will 
probably have unbootable system.

which reminds me that while having udev active (mounted under /dev), 
installing udev package, it's not possible to create static /dev entries 
which udev package contains, which results at startup 'unable to open initial 
console' message. from that i was able to "rescue" with devfs=mount kernel 
commandline option. the latter is probably initrd bug? ie initrd should 
already call start_udev before handling over control to real rootfs?
