interesting, i ran into an issue with a kernel/world i updated to on 
thursday where my USB mouse was non-functional and i suspect something 
funky happened with devd as well.  one suggestion i heard was to enable 
devmatch which i haven't had a chance to test yet. throwing it out there 
as it may help you.

cheers,
