Try adding the following two lines:
alias sound sb
alias sound/* sb
> alias char-major-10-135 off
> alias net-pf-4 off
> alias net-pf-5 off

> alias cua/1 serial

I'm working on a sample database to be included with modutils. For
now, replace your serial aliases with:
alias tts serial
alias tts/* serial
alias cua serial
alias cua/* serial

It works for me. What are the symptoms you are seeing?

Don't worry about it. As the message says, only tell me about it if
there is a problem (related to the message, of course).

There is a section in the README/FAQ which talks about this.

Probably this is not a devfs-related problem. Do you get this problem
without the devfs patch?
