+<title>Installation of MAKEDEV</title>
+
+<para>
+Create the device files by running the following commands:
+</para>
+
+<blockquote><literallayout>
+
+ <userinput>cd /dev &amp;&amp;</userinput>
+ <userinput>./MAKEDEV-temp -v generic &amp;&amp;</userinput>
+ <userinput>rm MAKEDEV-temp</userinput>
+
+</literallayout></blockquote>
+
+<para>
+The <quote>generic</quote> parameter passed to the MAKEDEV script
+doesn't create all the devices you might need, such as audio devices,
+hdc, hdd and ohters. If you seem to be missing something tell MAKEDEV to
+create it. To create hdc replace generic with hdc. You can also add hdc
+to generic, so you would execute <userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic
+hdc</userinput> to create the generic set of devices files, plus the
+files you need to be able to access hdc (and hdc1, hdc2, etc)
