Cool, I'm soon at a stage where I require devfs in NetBSD to avoid
overbearing component configuration routines.  The file system stuff
between 4.0 and 5.0 is quite different, but 5.0 and -current should be
fairly similar.  For integration, -current would be better.

Can you post some more details?
