        I like this approach better, since it doesn't seem that an option
is really necessary. However my understanding of devfs is limited to the
concept only, so if someone more knoweledgeable and/or preferably someone
USING the new devfs stuff wants to comment, I'm open to
suggestions. Otherwise, Ben go ahead and commit this after a few days have
gone by without opinions to the contrary.

Thanks,

Doug
