Maybe your system will boot and mount filesystems without /dev/hdax -
who knows?

And you will also have a place to fix the system in case of a boot
failure without /dev/console (or /dev/ttyx).

You should just grep through /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and check out how many
times /dev is accessed before mounting any filesystems.

Not that you cannot mknod these elsewhere, but lots of software out
there with /dev/whatever hardcoded in.
