mknod? I don't know if you've run out of major device numbers though.
Check /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt
One option is devfs - which is deprecated but works fine. My second HDD
on a RAID conrtoller was hdk and hdi at one time and I had no problem
mounting it. You'll need devfsd. Quick way to check if this will work
is to mount devfs on /mnt, 'devfsd /mnt' and see if hd{i,k} is present.
There's also udev which is meant to replace devfs but I no no more of
it.

BTW: if you are using devfs with 2.6 it doesn't do devpts anymore.
It has to be mounted seperatly. Its fun when you can't ssh into a box.
