Packaging a Debian System on RedHat

No, I am trying to build a debian devices tree that works for a embedded
system that has debian (version 2.4.16) on a RedHat machine . I have done
this on a debian machine before (that was simple, because it already had the
debian devices tree).

For instance Redhat does not have:
/dev/hda
/dev/hda1
/dev/hda2
....

I tried something else a couple of days ago, which did not work either.
I made /dev1/dev to simulate /dev and created devices under there.

But, now I this command fails:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev1/dev/ram1 bs=1024 count=93750

Error:

dd: writing `/dev1/dev/ram1': No space left on device

16385+0 records in
16384+0 records out

$ df -h /dev

Is it because of dev1's filesystem, or where it is mounted?

How can I create a debian devices tree?

Thanks,
Supriya
