NetBSD still has the character devies as /dev/rfoo and block as
/dev/foo. I don't know your fix, but wouldn't it better to actually
check if the path we want to access is a character device in first place
and only try rfoo if it isn't?

The patch coming via mplayer? It was from my original patchset and
should be fine.
