Not at all;
% mknod /dev/hdh b 34 64
will do the job nicely. These numbers (34 64) are from the
Documentation/devices.txt from the kernel source.
In fact, /dev/MAKEDEV, the program SUPPLIED for creating devices
without looking up the numbers, and part of the *required*
package makedev, can happily do it for you:
% cd /dev
% ./MAKEDEV hdh
MAKEDEV knows about most of the devices you'd ever want to make.
So all you need is the kernel source to get the magic numbers
or MAKEDEV. Nothing special involved.
