I get the same sort of messages from the PS/2 mouse driver
(/sys/i386/isa/psm.c) because it attempts to create devfs nodes each
time the device is *opened*, and it fails on the second and subsequent
attempt since the names have already been created.

I don't know if this is your problem, but that may give you a place to
start.
