Configuring new devices

Hi all.

I've got an Ultra 1 running Solaris 8 on which the on board network
interface has died. I've managed to get hold of an sbus network card,
which judging by the lights on the hub it's connected to is working fine.
However I'm at a complete loss as to how to find out what this new device
is called. I've done a boot -r but that hasn't added anything to /dev.

One of my colleagues has said that he believes a makedev command needs to
be used but I've no idea what syntax to feed it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
        - Rich.
