I was able to create the dsp files in /dev without a script or MAKEDEV as 
follows:

mknod dsp0 c 14 3
mknod dsp1 c 14 19
rm dsp  [there was an old incorrect file so I could not make a symlink]
ln -s dsp0 dsp
chmod +x dsp*

The files are root root, not root sys.  Will this change itself or cause 
problems and if so what do I do about it?
The old audio1 is root sys, and the new audio0 is root root.
My index does not list mknod.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Once I figure out how to change root to sys, I will try playing wav files 
again after rebooting with bare.i kernel, and then create /dev/mixer, 
which another site says is the only thing you need besides /dev/dsp to 
just play sound.

rm audio
mknod audio0 c 14 4
ln -s audio0 audio
chmod +x audio*

mknod mixer c 14 0
mknod mixer1 c 14 16
chmod +x mixer*

The numbers are major and minor numbers.

For anyone using this posting as a reference the numbers are:
mknod midi00 c 14 2
....  midi01 c 14 18
midi02 14 34
midi03 14 50
music 14 8
patmgr0 14 17
patmgr1 14 33
sequencer 14 1
sndstat 14 6

ln -s /dev/music sequencer2

You need other files to use the PC speaker sound driver.
