i'm running on vmware system and HP proliant DL360 G5 servers
on wmware, on boot i have the following message:
Applying Intel Microcode update: don't know to make device "cpu/microcode" [OK]
and on a HP proliant DL360 G5 server , on boot i have too the following message:
Applying Intel Microcode update: don't know to make device "cpu/microcode" etc/rc3.d/S00microcode_ctl: microcode device /dev/cpu/microcode doesn't exist? [OK]
Do you have i686 kernel running (rather than i586) ? I had such message on Fedora Core 6 which installed i586 kernel on my PIII CPU.

So i386 kernel does not create /dev/cpu/microcode as far as I know. I do not know about x86_64 kernel, but file /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.9/Documentation/Changes describes /dev/cpu/microcode under title 'Intel IA32 microcode'. Also, it says that if udev is not used, you might need to make mkdir, mknod and chmod for the device.

there is no i386 kernel in centos3 or 4. The default is i686, and we also provide an i586 kernel for people who are using older hardware.
