Looking at the manpage you're probably right.

Since the system needs devices to work, it would not make sense to have a
possibility to disable devfs, hence no =E2=80=9Cdevfs_enable=E2=80=9D in rc=
=2Econf, so no rcvar
and no listing in =E2=80=9Cservice -e=E2=80=9D.

Having thought about it, I guess we should read the =E2=80=9C-e=E2=80=9D op=
tion for services
as =E2=80=9CList *optional* services that are enabled=E2=80=9D, with devfs =
being mandatory.
