My problem was this: -for the 10th + snp devices, I had to create it by hand with mknod; - I had an old version of watch, the one that comes with 4.6-REL does have the option of specifying the snoop device. Only weirdness I see is that the tty must be open before executing watch on it, else there's an error. But that's not a big deal. Thanks for directing me to the right place.
