Steven,
that is exactly how is done it when building the iso image (I did not know):


## devices
devices.cpio: misc/devices.txt
         tools/mknod-cpio.pl < $< >| [email protected]
         mv [email protected] $@

....

initrd: devices.cpio .stamp-stage2
         (cd stage2 && find . | cpio -H newc -o) >| [email protected]
         cat devices.cpio >> [email protected]
         mv [email protected] $@

now,
I have try both the iso image and the network image, and both have

ls -l /dev/null

crw------- 1 root 0 1,   3 Jan 18 17:19 /dev/null

Johannes,
are you building up the images from source?
