mount | grep devfs
	devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
	devfs on /var/named/dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
Man mount doesnt show syntax.

	man devfs & /etc/rc.subr /etc/rc.d/named
I found this works:
	mount -t devfs dev /usrb/chroot/dev
I sent in a send-pr to add a hint for that to man mount.
