If you consider switching to udev, i'd recommend to first cast the
current udev spell in test grimoire, which makes udev manage /udev, then
see (after a telinit run udev start) whether it creates all devices you
have (if not, tell me which are missing, so i can add them to the
udev.missing file).
There's also one devfs "feature" that udev doesn't provide, that's
modules autoloading when an app tries to access a device that doesn't
exist.
If those two points don't turn you away, feel free to test it.
