Well, I have not tried it, but it may work. Give it a try and see
what happens. Just make sure you do not overwrite the entries that
are there, or make a backup of the /dev directory before you write
the new entries. There may also be a script in the /dev directory
when you boot with coLinux that will create the device entries for
you... I have not looked to see if it is still there.
