Aha! I have those major/minor device numbers too, but under different
names:
vanzandt-pc:/dev# ls -l hd1? hd1?1
brw-r----- 1 root disk 22, 0 Jul 17 1994 hd1a
brw-r----- 1 root disk 22, 1 Jul 17 1994 hd1a1
brw-r----- 1 root disk 22, 64 Jul 17 1994 hd1b
brw-r----- 1 root disk 22, 65 Jul 17 1994 hd1b1
brw-r----- 1 root disk 22, 128 Feb 15 1995 hd1c
brw-r----- 1 root disk 22, 129 Feb 15 1995 hd1c1
brw-r----- 1 root disk 22, 192 Feb 15 1995 hd1d
brw-r----- 1 root disk 22, 193 Feb 15 1995 hd1d1
My /dev/hd* devices were as constructed by /dev/MAKEDEV:
vanzandt-pc:/dev$ ls -l M*
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 11969 Jul 17 1994 MAKEDEV*
which came from Nick Holloway:
