>From what I remember I simply used 'mknod' with the relevant major and
minor device numbers, which I found in amongst the docs for the linux
kernel (/usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt to be precise). So the
command would be "mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0", and then you might have to
make /dev/video a symbolic link. HTH.
