If you created your stage 1 script with s6-linux-init-maker, and you
see nothing in your stage 1 that mounts /dev, it means that you told
s6-linux-init-maker that your kernel automounts /dev at boot time.
So, your /dev is already mounted when the kernel spawns init. The
kernel option triggering that behaviour is named CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT.
