It seems to me to be coming from the autoload functionality of devfs,
because the messages go away when I comment that line out. My guess is
that devfs is attempting a modprobe of every device that appears in
/dev, so that it can build a database of modules that it will need to
load when those devices are accessed. REG, is this pretty close to the
truth? Is there a way to suppress those warnings?
