NOTES
If mknod(2) is used to create a device, the major and minor
device numbers are always interpreted by the kernel running
on that machine.
With the advent of physical device naming, it would be
preferable to create a symbolic link to the physical name of
the device (in the /devices subtree) rather than using
mknod.
