If you updated /dev/tape to magically appear the changerizer
uses the same basic sequence.

Another way to put it: let devfsd manaqge /dev, that's
what it IS there for. Instead of ln -fs in /dev update
/etc/devfsd.conf using, say, "tape" as a template for
the changer device -- all you really need to do is hack
"tape" for "changer" (whatever) and "tape/0/mt" for the
device path to the changerizer.
