The port compiles but does not run.
It is very confused about several things DEVFS related

I hacked it to work at home but unfortunatly I forgot
to send the patches forward to here (work) so I can't give them exactly.

The basic change is  that rtc_attach() needs to be changed a little and
called from teh module init code instead of teh open code.

It's used for vmware.

on which topic, I submitted a patch to make vmware compile on -current
again. probably not needed for 5.0 unless 5.0 had sys/filedesc.h
