If you use devfsd from unstable then there is a file
/etc/devfs/devfsd.conf. There you have to uncomment the following section (or,
if you create a new devfsd.conf file, just add the following commands):

-----
# Sample /etc/devfsd.conf configuration file.
#
# Uncomment this if you want permissions to be saved and restored
#REGISTER	.*		COPY	/dev-state/$devname $devpath
#CHANGE		.*		COPY	$devpath /dev-state/$devname
#CREATE		.*		COPY	$devpath /dev-state/$devname
