Just to make a subtle distinction here, I'll point out that the function
of devfsd is not to provide devfs, but to make devfs
backwards-compatible with the old naming scheme. If you have your old
device names in /dev, then devfsd is doing its job, whether or not you
have mounted a devfs filesystem. If you need devfs, that's a kernel
issue.
