Hello,

Indeed, devfs is dynamic. On FreeBSD, we use devfs.rules (5) to
configure removable devices, and devfs.conf(5) for devices available at
boot.

Man pages are available at:

<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=devfs.conf>
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=devfs.rules&sektion=5>

and some examples are given for umass in the handbook at:
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/usb-disks.html>

Let me know if you need some more details!

Best regards,

Th. Thomas.
