thanks to all who responded and helped with the issue.

The problem was, even though i had gpiopps_load="YES" in my 
/boot/loader.conf, and the module was loaded during boot -- it was NOT 
creating anything in the /dev/ folder. Same was true for a 
uftdi_load="YES". Even worse, if I built the ftdi module into the 
kernel, the system would not boot for some reason.

So I did what felt quite logical (after reading all the supporting 
emails you have sent me, thank you so much). I unloaded and re-loaded 
the kernel modules, and lo! all the devices popped up like magic :D

And now I wrote a small script to wait a few seconds after boot, and 
then unload whatever has been loaded, and then load only the ones I 
need. Working like a charm!

Thanks to everyone, once again, for helping me to make it work.

Best regards
