mknod failures on boot - FC4

[David Nedrow]

This must just be an erroneous error from the init, as all three  
devices appear to be there...

[dn108 ~]# ls -l /dev/zero /dev/console /dev/null
crw-rw----  1 root root 5, 1 Jun 16 15:42 /dev/console
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 1, 3 Jun 16 11:41 /dev/null
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 1, 5 Jun 16 11:41 /dev/zero

As an aside, there's been a bugzilla entry on this since FC4T2  
apparently: #157129
