 1. Yup
2.  Yup, That has been one of my first priorities since COL 1.2 or in 
other words,  for many, many kernel compiles.

    Dec  8 23:21:56 crash kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) 
[PCSPP,TRISTATE]
    Dec  8 23:21:56 crash kernel: parport_pc: Via 686A parallel port: 
io=0x378

After using mknod to create lp0, on the next boot-up lp0 is gone this is 
getting stranger by the minute.

Well I guess I'll be doing some serious RTFM on devfsd, just when I 
thought i knew how it works I find that I don't.  :(
