FWIW, devlist doesn't need the pass device, only the xpt device, and doesn't involve any static/constant strings (other than the string needed to translate "devlist" into CAM_ARG_DEVTREE). It would require more space, though. Sending a BDR, however, does require a pass device, so resetting a bus:target:lun won't work on the boot floppy (without devfs). (That's not a problem, though.)
