I can't specifically answer your questions at this point but I have the 
impression that the contents of /dev are now generated automatically on 
boot (or by running /etc/init.d/udev restart).  Check out the docs in 
/usr/share/doc/udev ... theres a lot to read.

I had the problem that my cdrom (/dev/hdc) didn't show up ... there was 
no /dev/hdc ... it turns out that I needed to install the ide-cd module 
by hand (or at least arrange for its install).

So once I did 'modprobe ide-cd' and then a '/etc/init.d/udev restart' (I 
don't know that the restart was actually necessary).  I ended up with a 
brand new shiny /dev/hdc and was able to use my device again.

My officemate took a different tack ... he just did 'apt-get remove 
udev' and a reboot and got his device back.  Check out the 
README.Debian.gz ... it has some pointers.

I figure I will keep udev since its the way its going to be in the 
future I guess.
