Using this command:
# ls -l /dev/fd0*17*
on my Debian, I have:
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 2, 60 Oct 27 2000 fd0H1722
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 60 Jul 5 2000 fd0u1722
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 76 Jul 5 2000 fd0u1743
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 96 Jul 5 2000 fd0u1760
As you can see, H1722 (a block device) is major=2 and minor=60, so:
# mknod /dev/fd0H1772 b 2 60
Please: case is important, so "h" is different from "H".
