Most distributions have a /dev/MAKEDEV script (or program) which
can create appropriate device files.
Otherwise, on my system:

/dev$ ls -laF rft? nrft?
crw-rw----   1 root     disk      27,   4 Apr  7 21:18 nrft0
crw-rw----   1 root     disk      27,   5 Apr  7 21:18 nrft1
crw-rw----   1 root     disk      27,   6 Apr  7 21:18 nrft2
crw-rw----   1 root     disk      27,   7 Apr  7 21:18 nrft3
crw-rw----   1 root     disk      27,   0 Apr  7 21:18 rft0
