Assuming that you haven't rebooted the box yet, you have a terminal open, and you either have a copy of the /dev/MAKEDEV script or have the source on the system, you should be able to recover without much trouble.

To recreate them, all you need to do is copy the MAKEDEV script back into the /dev directory and run the following command. # sh MAKEDEV all Tim Donahue
