Xen users - Nov 2007 - jailtime, could not find filesystem ''/dev/root''

i have seen this issue many places online, but haven''t found any
solutions
yet. when i enter:
xm create debian.4-0.xen3.cfg -c

i get a bunch of output, but the errors occur here:

Scanning logical volumes
  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
  No volume groups found
Activating logical volumes
  Volume group "VolGroup00" not found
Creating root device.
Mounting root filesystem.
mount: could not find filesystem ''/dev/root''
Setting up other filesystems.
Setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
Switching to new root and running init.
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

i have gotten a fedora ~sorta up and running (haven''t figured out the
networking yet), but this would be a great help.

I think you should create /dev/root (and /dev/null) manually - mount
the jailtime partition, cd under dev and do something like:

# mknod root b 253 0; mknod null c 1 3

Dig around the jailtime web site for instructions. I think it''s
mentioned there somewhere.
