I recently upgraded my 0.1 port with the new GENERICISA kernel from
agate, and installed the codrv version of XFree86-1.2. When I tried to
start it up, I got a "Cannot open /dev/kbd" error, and I see I have no
such entry in my /dev. MAKEDEV doesn't know about it. I assume the kernel
supports it, and I need to do some magic mknod to create it.
Could someone let me know if that's so, and if it is what the major
and minor device numbers are?
Thanks,
Robert
