Tricky, I think, since in FreeBSD > 5.x most devices are created on the fly, yes? This is correct. You might want to experiment with devfs rules; see devfs(8) and /etc/defaults/devfs.conf or use /etc/devfs.conf. (I admit I am a bit confused which approach is better or more correct; you could ask on freebsd-questions or -stable.)
