Thanks guys, I now know that "making devices" means nothing more then
copying it from the host, to the guest (while still in the host. Am I
making sense here?)

One other question, as this is meant for a testing server for home
use, and public access is available, I don't really need the security.

Is there a way to turn off all "security" so I'm left with a vserver
Basically a computer within a computer?
