Hi everyone,

I am trying to set up a freebsd dialin server with two 16 port multicom 
cards.
I need 32 ttyd devices.
So I recompiled the kernel whith apropriate numer of sio devices and did

./MAKEDEV ttyd4 
./MAKEDEV ttyd5 
....
./MAKEDEV ttydv

No problems until here, but when I did

./MAKEDEV ttydw

i got the following error message

mknod: ?:non-nummeric minor number
/sbin/mknod ttydw

ls -la /dev/ttydv shows that the minor number ot that device is 31.
I guess that only 32 ttyd devices are allowed by default. Is there any 
way to change this ?
