devfs isn't directly consistant, but it's naming scheme is very
similar.

Solaris 2.x:
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 (my root partition at work)

devfs does support more drives, etc. (multiple channels/controller,
multiple luns/device). Also, devfs would simplify my life at work, as
I routinely move around an 2 Apex drives, a CD-R, and 2 external disks
(ID are always changing).
