Could you use udev for this? I'm not conversant with all the details, but with
a properly configured kernel and udev installed, /dev is populated according
to the udev rules. I am sure CD distributors (notably distribution
maintainers) have already worked out how to take advantage of it on live CD's
and other distribution media.
