I'm very new to devfs - I just heard about it for the first time yesterday 
and finally got it running right this morning. It seems to be working as 
advertised w/ just one problem: sound is not working.

There is no /dev/sound directory at all. The system in question is using a 
Soundblaster LIve! card, which uses the emu10k1.o module. I have not modified 
any of the devfsd config files. 

On another system that doesn't use devfs, but has the same exact hardware, 
the /etc/modules.conf file entry for the sound card looks like this (if it 
matters):

alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1

on the system in question I also added

alias /dev/sound emu10k1

which seems like an unusual entry to me, but I think I got it from one of the 
devfsd config files.

Am I doing something wrong?
