Source: installation-guide Version: 20250429 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: pk...@debian.org, z...@debian.org
D.3 in the installation guide documents the procedure on how to install Debian from an existing Unix/Linux system. D.3.4.1 at least in the amd64 version of the installation guide[1] references installing makedev and running it to get a template /dev filesystem. makedev has been removed as obsolete per #1064931, being replaced with udev. Presumably we should just remove the lines about it, the suggestion to bind-mount the host /dev is already there.
