Yes, I expected such issues.  This means that the respective
drivers don't use make_dev() to generate a proper dev_t
for their use.

I will look at thost two drivers tonight, I'm just finishing
the floppy drivers clone() function.

If you want to take a shot at it yourself it's quite simple:
you need to call make_dev() somewhere, typically in *_attach
to generate and name the dev_t for the function.
