The other way, is to edit your XF86Config to point to 
/dev/pcm0 (if you are using a PS2 mouse), or /dev/sioN (N being the COM port
number), which gives XFree86 direct access to your mouse.  But remember, if
you do this, you will need to disable the moused from Sysinstall.

Technically the MAKEDEV script still exists in src/etc/MAKEDEV*, but it
is only copied to /dev if you have disabled the DEVFS k-option, afaik.
