Poul-Henning,
many thanks for you kind guidance to the wonderful world of
devfs (which I never had to tweak in the past) ;-)

The wildcard feature is really fine ! Thanks for pointing
me into that direction.

Good hint ! Thanks !
Well and now things work like expected.
I put these devfs commands now into /etc/rc.local.
But since /etc/rc.local officially has gone, I think this
is not the best place ...
After a longer examination of /etc/devfs, /etc/rc.subr
/etc/defaults/devfs.rules and /etc/defaults/rc.conf
I got the clue, that I can put the statements into /etc/devfs.rules.
Hint: here again we seem to be missing a manpage: devfs.rules(5).
In /etc/rc.subr you see for example a reference to this manpage,
but it doesn't exist.
