   The most obvious is the fact that it no longer gets
union-mounted on /dev, it's mounted directly on /dev/fd:

# df .
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
fdesc               1        1        0   100%    /dev/fd
# ls -l
total 0
crw-------  1 chris  tty      5,   0 Oct 11 16:59 0
crw-------  1 chris  tty      5,   0 Oct 11 16:59 1
crw-------  1 chris  tty      5,   0 Oct 11 16:59 2

d---------  1 root   wheel       512 Oct 11 16:56 5

   This also means that there are no longer any `tty', `stdin' or
`stdout' nodes in fdescfs.
