{pts/1}% less /etc/modules.devfs

...
# SCSI generic
probeall  /dev/sg               scsi_hostadapter sg
alias     /dev/sg*              /dev/sg
alias     /dev/scsi/*/generic   /dev/sg

When you touch /dev/sg0 it tries to load sg. The same applies for other
listed as well.

This is different fro non-devfs case where module is loaded only when
you try to open device.

Everything has its price ... what about enabling module cleanup again?
