Aah.. you were spot on.  I was stuck in the mindset "I
installed devfs...things broke...it must be a devfs
problem".  I ended up switching over to agetty and it
works a treat.  

I've managed to boot into X with compatibility mode
off, and although a couple of things are quite 100%
yet (mouse not working) I have a nice clean looking
/dev.

Thanks for the prod in the right direction.
