If you are really having trouble with udev you can always do what it
does, which is to get the right major and minor numbers out of sysfs
and run mknod.

for f in /sys/class/aoe/*/dev; do
	n=`dirname $f`
	n=`basename $n`
	awk -v name=$n -F: '{
		print "mknod /dev/etherd/" name " c " $1 " " $2
	}' $f
done

Just add " | sh" after "done" to actually run those commands instead
of printing them out.
