Here's what the comments from libsun/util.c say. I did it on my Sun 3/160 and it worked. I think that some operation similar to this was mandated by the installation guide, but I can't get my hands on that right now. When I did this, after I created the bell I had to give a chmod command when I was root to make the bell device writable by all. * Need to make the /dev/bell device with * the same major device number as tty[ab] but with a new minor number. * * # /etc/mknod /dev/bell c 12 2 * * crw-rw-rw- 1 root 12, 0 Jan 6 18:18 /dev/ttya * crw-rw-rw- 1 root 12, 1 Feb 26 1985 /dev/ttyb * crw-rw-rw- 1 root 12, 2 Jan 14 08:45 /dev/bell * */
