Ok, new question:  Where do all of the /dev devices come from?  The 
initrd script only creates a few of them, or at least only creates a few 
of them manually.  Here's a listing of /dev when booted into coLinux:

http://pastebin.com/751888

and here's the same listing when booted into FC5 normally:

http://pastebin.com/751881

Both listings are attached to this message as text files.

The problem I'm running across is that there are no virtual terminals 
available when running under coLinux, due to a lack of said device 
files.  Where do these get created in FC5?
