    14 <para>MAKEDEV will create hda[1-20] and hdb[1-20] and such but keep in mind
     13<para>Now, depending on whether you are going to use devpts or not, you
     14can run one of two commands:</para>
     15
     16<para>If you do not intend to use devpts, run:</para>
     17<para><userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput></para>
     18
     19<para>If you do intend to use devpts, then run:</para>
     20<para><userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic-nopty</userinput></para>
     21
     22<para>Note that if you aren't sure, it's best to use
     23the <userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput> command as this will
     24ensure you have the devices you need.  If you are sure you are going to
     25use devpts however, the other command makes sure that you don't create a
     26set of devices which you don't require.</para>
     27
     28<para>MAKEDEV will create hda[1-20] to hdh[1-20] and such but keep in mind
    1529that you may not be able to use all of those devices due to kernel
    1630limitations regarding the max. number of partitions.</para>
