9 Did you update the kernel version? Are you still using devfs? If so,
10 devfs has been removed from current kernels and you need to migrate to
11 udev.

13 Also, be sure to run etc-update, and fixup your configuration files in
14 /etc/conf.d. Lots of stuff moved from /etc/rc.conf to /etc/conf.d/
15 files in the last 6 months, so you may have some issue there.
16 Particularly there were changes in baselayout that decide whether to
17 startup devfs or udev.
