from: linux-2.4.*/Documentation/video4linux/README.cpia:


USAGE:

General:
========

1) Make sure you have created the video devices (/dev/video*):

- if you have a recent MAKEDEV do a 'cd /dev;./MAKEDEV video'
- otherwise do a:

cd /dev
mknod video0 c 81 0

<snip>
Dont do the next step mentioned after this, it is outdated: /dev/video is now a
directory)
