Try this, if your running devfs there should be a special device for
devfsd.

[Oolon on derilium] ls -alF /dev/.devfsd 
crw-------    1 root     root       8,   0 Jan  1  1970 /dev/.devfsd
[Oolon on derilium] 

Have a look to see if the demon is running.

[Oolon on derilium] ps aux | grep devfsd
root        12  0.0  0.0  1408  108 ?        S    Sep18   0:00
/sbin/devfsd /dev
oolon    21091  0.0  0.1  1388  504 pts/4    S    13:26   0:00 grep devfsd
[Oolon on derilium] 

Otherwise you should have lots of subdirs in /dev like this

[Oolon on derilium] ls -alF /dev/ide
total 0
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 ./
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 ../
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Sep 18 13:03 cd/
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Sep 18 13:03 hd/
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 host0/
[Oolon on derilium] 

Hope this helps james
