You forgot the version of GRUB.  Not all versions are equal!

Try removing /boot/grub/device.map or add "--recheck" to the command line.
Your /boot/grub/device.map was created before you installed devfs and it 
has old names in it.

It can be fixed, but the fix is not simple, since every entry in 
/boot/grub/device.map would have to be resolved.
