More details? What you did before and what you did next?

This may only work from second shell when in the middle of reflashing with initfs_flash script and you need to run it from initfs_flasher directory.

You can check whether the command above did the right thing by checking real initfs (after flash and reboot)
Code:
ls -l /mnt/initfs/dev/mmcblk*
If you are on Diablo, you may try to remount initfs read/write and do the change directly there without any messing with initfs flasher.

Code:
mount -o rw,remount /mnt/initfs
mknod -m600 /mnt/initfs/dev/mmcblk0p5 b 254 5
mount -o ro,remount /mnt/initfs

Once you have correct device you also need to have right boot menu entry and healthy filesystem to boot :-)
