I noticed this too. What security level did you install your system with? I used higher. devfs is not a kernel module in the mdk-secure kernel. I did some research and it seems there's a small security issue with devfs, which is probably what keeps it from being considered secure. I tried using devfs in the non-secure kernel, and all the init scripts freaked out probably because the secure install isn't set up to use the devfs filenames. I always thought devfs would be neat, but it wasn't too important to me, so I gave up.
