moo!

	so, i added a new CD ROM drive to my FreeBSD 3.3 machine (HP Writer) and
there are no devices in /DEV for it.

	So, I'm trying to create one by typing:

	./MAKEDEV cd1

	which does absolutely nothing.  Similiarily MAKEDEV scd1 does nothing.

	What do I have to do to create the device files for the new drive?  dmesg
definitely shows that the drive is cd1, whereas the other drive is cd0 ...

	what am i doing wrong?

	marc.
