drwxr-xr-x   22 root     root        6.7K Aug  6 13:48 ..

crw--w----    1 root     tty       136,   1 Aug  6 20:49 1
c---------    1 root     root        5,   2 Jan  1  1970 ptmx

However, if you can compile the kernel (or ask somebody who can do it for you), you can add the missing bits and bobs (details are in the first post).
