I bet you do 

REGISTER hdc ...

I already said once it is questionable. /dev/hdc is compatibility link
managed by devfsd and it is NEVER registered. The reason it appears to
work is when S99devfsd HUPs devfsd it walks down /dev and _simulates_
REGISTER event for every node found. But you cannot rely on it. Actually
you cannot even rely on the /dev/hdc existence.

I guess devfssymlink should resolve compatibility names and put true
devfs names in configuration, like

REGISTER  ide/...
