Hello Yaffs ers !

   I had some problems with a YAFFS root fs : unable to open any special files (/dev/*), especially /dev/console. 
mkyaffsimage from i386 2.6.8, target : superH 2.6.10 (same behaviour with 2.6.8).

After some head scratching, I made the following quick patch ("quick" = "it works for me, but dunno if this is the 
correct way to do it or not"). Comments welcome !

Btw, thanx for this wonderful work Charles ! :)

Alexis
