The usually recommended method for doing so is:

cd /dev
sh ./MAKEDEV

I believe that will make all the default devices.  You can also give
arguments to the script, specifying what kind of devices you want to make.
/dev/MAKEDEV is just a shell script, so feel free to look at to see how it
works.

I hope this helps.

Later.
