Just FYI, a real /dev already works (using mknod -- you just have to know the device numbers). I've been running with a duplicate /dev (which I called /ddev) since February, and while I haven't used all the devices, those that I did use (ttyS*, console, clipboard, mem, dsp, random, zero, null, fd0) worked fine. Obligatory RTFM: also FYI, for faking /dev, see <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#id4676548>.
