devfsd was not a requirement, it was only a tool for people who wanted
their old device names for devfs devices. I was once doing a miniature
environment for a package installation system which used pure devfs
(i.e. no old dev names), and it was doing super well without
devfs. sysinstall was the only process running, and I could install
Linux on any writeable device without using devfsd.
