Without devfs the actual hardware devices should be there, perhaps not the symlinks to cdrom or modem. While I had the TiBook, I should have looked more at the modem, I know it wasn't detected during the test installs here, but it may be the same case as the ibook2, a "soft" modem. The cdrom was setup fine here, with devfs. You can see if the kernel saw the CDROM with: dmesg | grep hdc (is it hdc on these machines?)
