Just a quick question:

How do you figure out what the major and minor device numbers for
a driver are?  In the specific instance I need help with right now,
the IPFilter device is configured in my kernel, but MAKEDEV does
not have an entry for /dev/ipl and the number is different on SPARC
and i386, so I doubt I could just copy that line of MAKEDEV from
another port 8)  But I am also curious about the question in the
slightly larger context of where those numbers come from...

Thanks,
