Yeah, well, I figured it out eventually. It had to do with the
backstreet ruby kernel as well. I have the habit of making sure
everything works with one step before I move on to another, but this
time, that strategy didn't serve me. Going further in the howto I
needed to boot up with a dumbcon=2 parameter. When I did that, indeed,
devfs made the needed devices.
One things that is still unclear to me: Shouldn't devfs show up in
mount's output?
Cheers,
Kjetil
