    I think devfs is really cool.  I don't think it needs to have
    fancy persistence in order to be useful.

    Julian, there is a note in the LINT file saying that it doesn't
    work with MFS.  Is this still true?  I want to use DEVFS in
    the BOOTP diskless booting code, which uses MFS heavily.
