I haven't tried out devfs.  Parted operates on block devices (or ANY
file), so in that sense, there is no problem.  However, libparted
does probing for devices in /proc/partitions, which is useful for
things like GUI installers, and lazy people who don't provide device
names for Parted...  I don't know if that works with devfs (I believe
it does)
