I have it working, although I hacked-in the support on my dev box rather
than using our "official" method.

I compiled a kernel with devfs support, and enabled the auto-mount on boot
option.  Then, I created an rc script to run "/sbin/devfsd /dev" on boot and
"killall devfsd" on shutdown.  Then, I configured it to start up in runlevel 0,
in position 03 (in /etc/rc.d/rcboot.d, right after "pretty").  It looks like
an older script on cvs started it in runlevel 1, maybe that's the problem?
Make sure you've installed the most recent version of sys-apps/devfsd, and
then remove any devfsd symlink that may exist in /etc/rc.d/rc1.d.

Best Regards,
