Not at all - except towards my own stupidity for not even thinking of such a 
simple solution. :)

The follow-up question was just that does removing and recreating the device 
files work OK with devfs - do they stay deleted? I.e. when does devfs(d) 
create the devices? On startup only, "on demand" or does it poll through them 
periodically?
