I think I now understand the problem. Grub really doesn't understand
devfsd. It just "mounts" the kernel (root=) and lets it take over from
there. Thanks for the clarification.
Now, would enabling devfsd magically cause my disk-based /dev/ directory
to be mirrored in devfs-pace? I'm particularly concerned about the
permission and ownership of the devices.
