Looking at vsyslog(3), I don't think logger(1) can ever log with
facility KERN. LOG_KERN is 0, so this in vsyslog
/* Set default facility if none specified. */
if ((pri & LOG_FACMASK) == 0)
pri |= LogFacility;
will always change the KERN facility is to LogFacility, which defaults
to LOG_USER.
So the devd output is really going to user.warn and a syslog.conf line like
kern.* /var/log/kernel.log
will capture kernel messages, but not the devd logger output, and if you
look in kernel.log you won't find the checksum errors.
