>Description:
After reading devfs(8), rc.conf(5) and devfs.rules(5) and some scanning of
/etc/rc.d/* it's still unclear what the status of /etc/defaults/devfs.rules
is, once one creates /etc/devfs.rules.
Meaning: are they merged and are same-name or same-number overridden by
/etc/devfs.rules or is /etc/defaults/devfs.rules complete ignored if an
/etc/devfs.rules is detected. Or is /etc/defaults/devfs.rules always loaded
and should the sysadmin avoid name/number clashes?
