I don't claim to know what I'm talking about here, so be warned.

If you read the MAKEDEV script, you find that it's mostly doing mknod.
The man page for mknod says to look here for more info about major
numbers:

``/usr/src/sys/arch/<arch>/<arch>/conf.c''

But I just looked at a few architectures and conf.c doesn't exist.

My brain has thus run out of capacity to comprehend this problem.

But if you figure it out it would be nice to get smb devices built
too. I got the kernel to compile with SMBFS, but MAKEDEV doesn't build
the devices.
