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.
