I do all this is /etc/rc.devfs which should be called from rc.
I dont use SLICE its too green yet for my liking.

You just have to always use the -w option IIRC.

Well, I usr DEVFS on all my machines, make it alot easier when fiddeling
with device drivers, ie the devices come and go by themselves, no need
to fiddle with MAKEDEV, and for that pupose it works very well.
The SLICE code OTOH has been in the way too many times to be usefull
for me at least.
