What did you use to actually create your exported /dev on the NetApp in
the first place? Encoding of device major/minor numbers is funky with
NFS, and FreeBSD only does NFSv2 for the root filesystem by default
(which makes matters even worse).
If you didn't, try making the exported /dev with a FreeBSD client. If
that still fails (wouldn't surprise me all that much), you want to be
using an MFS or md-mounted /dev.
The standard rc.diskless stuff works OK, but I don't like MFS all that
much, so I rewrote it slightly to use md. See
http://ziplok.dis.org/msmith/rc.diskless*.diff (could do with some
polishing).
