The messages you're seeing are printed by devd at loglevel info, and I
see that you're directing *.info to /var/log/messages.  If you change
that to the default "*.notice" then you won't see the offending
messages, or if you prefix the line with "!-devd" like this: 
!-devd 
*.info;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info
[2];mail.crit;news.err;cron.none;local0.none;local1.none
/var/log/messages

In the latter case, I recommend that you enable /var/log/devd.log at
level notice.

Done and THANKS.
