    build: image: Do not call make-essential-device-nodes by default.
    
    Calling "mknod" without root permissions fails. Plus those device nodes do 
not
    appear to be needed to boot.
    
    * gnu/build/image.scm (initialize-root-partition): Do not use
    make-essential-device-nodes as default make-device-nodes procedure.
