In 3.0 (-RELEASE and post) MAKEDEV snd0 and then MAKEDEV snd1. The
script makes and links the appropriate entries. I haven't tried this on
a 2.2.7-RELEASE machine as I don't have another machine with a sound
card in it. Looking in MAKEDEV before running it will usually tell you
the infomation you seek.
