The frame buffer driver for your graphic card is not in the kernel or could not bee initialized properly, so this is one reason for missing /dev/fb0. Are kernel modules installed in your system? What is the output of the command below? ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video If you do not know which graphic chip is in your system, you might want to run lspci -v | grep VGA Then you have to install the appropriate frame buffer driver kernel module or alternatively to build the kernel with frame buffer driver included.
