     23<para>If a device you need is missing, try running
     24<userinput>./MAKEDEV -v &lt;device&gt;</userinput>. Alternatively, you may
     25create devices via the <emphasis>mknod</emphasis> program. Please refer to
     26the man and info pages of <emphasis>mknod</emphasis> if you need more

    20 <para>Note that if you aren't sure, it's best to use the
    21 <userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput> command as this will ensure you
    22 have all the devices you need. But if you are certain you are going to use
    23 devpts, the other command skips creating a set of devices you won't need.</para>
     29<para>If you intend to use devpts, pass the
     30<userinput>generic-nopty</userinput> option to <filename>MAKEDEV</filename>.
     31This creates the same devices as <userinput>generic</userinput>, but it skips
     32the creation of pty devices so that devpts can manage them itself.</para>
