[Users] Problems with Gentoo template creation

[Ronald Tanner]

No problem, I can create these devices.
However after a reboot they are lost because /dev is mounted
on tmpfs and gentoo uses udev.

Besides: do you have any idea why I have to set the routes

/sbin/route add -net 191.255.255.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev venet0
/sbin/route add default gw 191.255.255.1

on the VE by hand to get the net working?

Regards
Ronald
