the real device for at least psaux is /dev/misc/psaux .. if you have the
compatibility options enabled in devfsd it also makes a symlink back to
/dev/psaux for you. looks like the ttyS* serial devices are now in the form
of /dev/tts/0 .. I don't have any usb mice connected right now so that's all
I can tell you offhand.
while it's just personal preference, for any box that I use devfs on but
don't use devfsd, I also don't let it mount as /dev, but rather keep it off
on other directories just as a guide to know what devices are available at
any given time (which was handy for example to see that the major for
joystick devices got moved around in newer kernels).
