Please help.

I have non-commercial QNX-6.2 for evaluation purposes.
How do I create special device file with particular major and minor
numbers? mknod command just doesn’t exist, so what is the way?

You don’t.

What purpose do you need to make special files explicitly?

I just try to write resource manager for some device (actually for
reflective memory card), but all samples in documentation are
attaching to already existing devices (special files in /dev).
So what is the right way?
