First, let me correct myself: I *am* seeing exactly this glitch, I just
hadn't noticed it until a few minutes ago when I rebooted and looked
much more closely.
Devd sees the link-up event because it sees all the events that happened
before it started (for some definition of "all"; there's probably some
reasonable list-length or buffer size limit somewhere). I rebooted to
test my vague memory on this... boot into single-user mode and manually
run /sbin/devd -D and you'll see it processing the buffered events
before daemonizing. For some reason I had to mount / writeable before
running devd in single-user or it failed.
I now suspect (but haven't tested to confirm) that this message may be a
side effect of r226345 which replaced some one-off pidfile logic in
rc.d/dhclient with use of the standard rc_pid scheme, which is what is
doing the whining. I think the old one-off code to deal with the
pidfile avoided whining in the 'quietstart' case.
Has r226345 been MFCed to 8-stable? I only see it in head.
