As Nate Williams wrote:

What is a VCHR device?

A `raw', or `character' (misnomer -- you can only write in blocks to it if it's a disk :) device.

John is too much tied to the VM code to forget that there are also other names for it. ;-) VCHR is actually the member of an enum in <sys/vnode.h>, the kernel constant used for a vnode of type S_IFCHR.
