Looks like you are right. The creation of links as specified in
devfs.conf is handled by custom code in /etc/rc.d/devfs, it cannot be
specified as the "action" part of a devfs rule at this time.
Your best bet is to use devd.conf, there you have more freedom (but you
have already hinted at this yourself)
