I had just been wondering how to set up /dev/disk/by-id;
I have a helper for mdev that will set up /dev/disk/by-uuid/ and
/dev/disk/by-label/ symlinks (by parsing the output of 'blkid'):

ln -s /proc/kcore     /dev/core
ln -s /proc/self/fd   /dev/fd
ln -s /proc/self/fd/0 /dev/stdin
ln -s /proc/self/fd/1 /dev/stdout
ln -s /proc/self/fd/2 /dev/stderr
# MAKEDEV is part of package makedevs;
# it should be copied to /dev if it exists 
[ -x /sbin/MAKEDEV ] && cp /sbin/MAKEDEV /dev/MAKEDEV || \
 ln -s /bin/true /dev/MAKEDEV


/dev/log is the responsibity of the syslog implementation, which is not
started by the device manager.

/dev/xconsole is not something I have on my main (udev-based) partition -
I think it's the result of running xconsole?
/dev/shm is either a mountpoint for a tmpfs filesystem or a link to one.
An old FHS-style system will do:

mkdir /dev/shm && mount -t tmpfs shm /dev/shm

On systemd-influenced systems, it's instead roughly:
# in mountdevsubfs.sh, from initscripts
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /run
mkdir -p /run/lock /run/shm
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /run/lock
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /run/shm

#in udev, which runs before mountdevsubfs.sh
mountpoint -q /dev/shm/ && umount /dev/shm/
mountpoint -q /dev/pts/ && umount /dev/pts/
#(re)mount /dev and populate it
mkdir -p /dev/pts && mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts

#I'm not sure where this is.
ln -s /run/shm /dev/shm
