Device node exists in i386, ALPHA, sparc and xen architecures. It seems 
to vary between numbers 77, 88, 98 and 134 with 98 being the most 
popular. On cobalt only nubers up to 37 are used and MAKEDEV script 
supports 98 out of the box. Why not add line:
device-major    nsmb            char 98                 nsmb
to majors.cobalt, recompile and try it out again?
