Hello,
is it possible to create/make a subdirectory under /dev,
or is it generally forbidden to do that?

I found nothing by googling or reading the archives of the freebsd mailing 
lists. I even found nothing by slightly looking into the kernel code.

Does anyone have some suggestions or pointers for me?

Thanks in advance,
Marc Lörner
