 create your own total match like so:
 	.* 1:1 777
 
+You can rename/relocate device nodes by using the next optional field.
+	<device regex> <uid>:<gid> <octal permissions> [>path]
+So if you want to place the device node into a subdirectory, make sure the path
+has a trailing /.  If you want to rename the device node, just place the name.
+	hda 0:3 660 >drives/
+This will relocate "hda" into the drives/ subdirectory.
+	hdb 0:3 660 >cdrom
+This will rename "hdb" to "cdrom".
+
 If you also enable support for executing your own commands, then the file has
 the format:
 	<device regex> <uid>:<gid> <octal permissions> [<@|$|*> <command>]
