is there a way to perhaps mount_union over devfs to keep symlinks and
such?

also, is there a way to preserve permission changes between reboots? maybe
a script that would do it based on a file...

libdisk is still broken with DEVFS/SLICE, barfs on: 
ioctl: : Inappropriate ioctl for device
failed on IOCTL disk = /dev/rwd0 errno = 25      

(i added some debugging stuff to the code)

disklabel is also b0rked, will not write out to the disk.

(not being sarcastic) i know DEVFS is quite new, but is it expected to be
used? or is it something akin to kernfs?

thanks,
