heehee!  this works on 2.0 (actually, anything after 1.6ZG, i expect):

    % sysctl -r kern.drivers | perl -e 'while(sysread(STDIN, $d, 32)) \
	{($c,$b,$n)=unpack("iiZ*", $d);\
	printf("%3d %3d %s\n", $c, $b, $n);}' | grep lkm

and on my alpha it reports (ignore the -1 -- that means there's no
block device):

    16  -1 lkm

which matches perfectly:

    % ll /dev/lkm
    crw-r-----  1 root  kmem  16, 0 Dec 10  2000 /dev/lkm

;-)
