From the handbook: -- [snip] -- Now make the serial device with # sh MAKEDEV cuaa which will create the serial devices for your system. If your modem is on sio1 or COM2 if you are in dos, then your modem device would be /dev/cuaa1. -- [snip] -- >How-To-Repeat: Following the above instructions: december:/dev# rm -r cuaa* december:/dev# sh MAKEDEV cuaa december:/dev# ls -l cuaa* crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 138 Jul 14 00:02 cuaaa >Fix: While the rest of the document uses /dev/cuaa1 as the example device, I believe this MAKEDEV example should show creation of all of the serial devices (analogous to what a 'sh MAKEDEV all' would create).
