Does your kernel actually have devfs support? I believe the standard
Debian kernel's don't, or at least don't have it enabled by default.
Probably the easiest way to check is to cat /proc/mounts, and look for
a line like 'none /dev devfs rw 0 0'. If you don't have devfs
support, devfsd is pretty useless.
