Read the source luke!!!
From the MAKEDEV script:
# st* "NEW type scsi tapes" (old driver uses the
# block devices of the disks to get access)
so
root@garion > MAKEDEV st1
>The same thing happened earlier in the week when I tried to MAKEDEV tty.
Ok...# Terminal ports:
# tty* general purpose serial ports
# cua* dialout serial ports
# ttyA* Specialix SI/XIO dialin ports ('*' = number of devices)
# cuaA* Specialix SI/XIO dialout ports
# ttyD* Digiboard - 16 dialin ports
# cuaD* Digiboard - 16 dialout ports
So which tty are you trying to make? ...
you probably need
root@garion > MAKEDEV tty1
