swxcr problem on 5.1a

We upgraded an alpha 2100 from 4.0d to 5.1a PK2.

Since device designations are different, I had to create
symbolic links for:

/dev/cport>
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 512 Jul 20 07:52 ./
drwxr-xr-x 9 root system 512 Jul 20 07:53 ../
crw------- 1 root system 19, 17 Jul 10 00:24 scp0
crw------- 1 root system 19,114 Jul 10 00:24 scp1

What I did:

ln -s /dev/cport/scp0 /dev/rre0c
ln -s /dev/cport/scp0 /dev/rre8c

The problem,
"The character special device /dev/rre16c could not be opened for I/O.
This corresponds to RAID controller xcr2."

This means i need an /dev/cport/scp2 device. How do I make one with mknod,
and what is the magic number?

TIA,
Bugs
