I know you've figured out MAKEDEV now, but just some info on doing it
the hard way:
mknod /dev/psaux c 10 1
general form mknod [OPTION]... NAME TYPE [MAJOR MINOR]
you can get the major and minor numbers from
/usr/src/linuc/Documentation/devices.txt if you ever need to make a
really strange device for some reason (or find yourself without and
hardrive devices *and* without without MAKEDEV, don't laugh, if you
administer a RH box and have to use the "rescue" mode of the CDROM
this is exactly where you'll be!!)
