To get the major device numbers, run the -t option on the config file:

config -t /kernel/tower/cf/config.cf  (or whatever your config file is named)

Assuming you have added an entry in the config.cf files something like:

sxt	0	0	0	8

and the major device number is 27, here is a sample shell to install the
sxt nodes in /dev:

---<cut here>------
major=27
minor=0
cd /dev
mkdir sxt
chmod 755 sxt
for link in 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
do
for chan in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
do
echo ${minor} ${link}${chan}
mknod sxt${link}${chan} c ${major} ${minor}
ln sxt${link}${chan} sxt/${link}${chan}
minor=`expr ${minor} + 1`
done
done
