You can mknod them yourself without the distribution files. You forgot
to mention which system you're running. For FreeBSD, the default major
numbers are 8 for the com driver and 28 for the newer sio driver.
mknod /dev/tty00 c ${major} 0
mknod /dev/tty01 c ${major} 1
chown root.tty /dev/tty0*
chmod 600 /dev/tty0*
This should do it.
