There are a few entries in the /dev directory so that the system can boot and load the udev virtual file system, but because the /dev virtual file system is mounted on top of /dev, it replaces everything that was there. It is not part of the initrd. "man udev" will give you more information about it. You basically have 2 choices - ether implement udev in coLinux, or create the devices you need in /dev under coLinux.
