/dev/ on FreeBSD 5.* is a pseudo filesystem generated dynamically by
the kernel. You can try running "devfs rule apply unhide" to ask the
kernel to put back all the devices it knows about, but any permissions
or symlinks created by the boot process will not be there. A reboot
will put everything back to normal.
