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.
