R. Luettgen:
 |What happen with lsdev in RELEASE 2.2.1?
 |Is there a new utility to list devices?

I miss having that command as well.  Think I first noticed it around
2.2-ALPHA.  It was real handy for doing device-specific configuration in
startup and shell startup scripts.

I've resorted to the ugly:

        if dmesg | grep '^<device>[0-9]*:'; then

approach.
