Hi Anto, thank you for giving that a try!

Actually, every bit of feedback helps :)

It looks like the config file didn't get installed to the right place.
Upon further inspection, it looks like I forgot to have the Makefile
install the vdev init script as well (I had installed it manually in my
VM). I'll add "create a generic device manager init script that works with
udev, vdev, mdev, and static /dev" to my TODO list :)

I pushed a fix to both git.devuan.org and github.com, if you're anxious to
try it again (I tested it insofar as ensuring that it generates /etc/vdev
properly, and it installs the vdev init script and removes the udev script
links from /etc/rcS.d). I haven't tested it on my VM yet, though.

Thanks again for giving this a go!

-Jude
