I've just had a look at the driver, and I don't think it will create
/dev/ttf/# entries. I think it will create /dev/ttf entries instead
(i.e. all the same name). This is because of a change I made in
devfs-patch-v155, which pushed the formatting into each TTY driver.

Also, I don't see anywhere /dev/ip2/* being created. Has this been
implemented?
