	Hi!
	I would like to enable ipf. In the man page of ipf,
	following files are required.

	/dev/ipf
	/dev/ipl
	/dev/ipstate

	How to create them with the help of devfs?

	Also I would like to create following devices

	ad0s6,ad0s7
	ad[1-3] and ad[1-3]s[1-7]

	I can't properly understand how devfs works. Can
	somebody point me toward some doc(s)?

	Regards,
	Shantanu
