My understanding is that withe DEVFS, it is the device driver's
responsibility to create the device node(s) as necessary.

Woo, I saw the 'devfs(8)', but I have no a clear idea to deal with it.
Thank you very much. Let me try....:)

I think you mean partition 'c'.  And All of my systems that run -CURRENT
also run -STABLE, so I haven't tried things that I know would be
incompatible.

Ouch! This is my problem. I only think when I use FreeBSD4.x default partition,
it will never use 'd' partition. But I tested just now, I found the 'd' partition could be used.
