Rob, FreeBSD-CURRENT makes use of DEVFS by default, so you dont need to create entries unless you have NODEVFS in your kernel configuration file. Also, read the src/UPDATING file more information.

It is my understanding that /dev is a dynamic filesystem in -current, and doesn't use or need things like MAKEDEV.

You are if you run mount it will tell you /dev is devfs you don't need to run MAKEDEV on -currrent as devices are created as you need them. If you're having a problem with a certain device not existing, then you should post that with all details. -- David W.
