I maintain a port for FreeBSD that I am trying to fix to run on
V5. The port is the mWave modem software for some IBM laptop internal
modems and it needs to create a /dev entry which I previously did with
a simple mknod. This doesn't work under 5.0, so I am trying to figure
out how to get the device node created in the rc script for the port.

The command I used in V4 is mknod "/dev/mwave c 96 0". Where so I read
up on creating something like this with devfs?
