-m specifies the permissions on the device id file. This is very important.
The permissions on that file determine what access the kernel allows to
the actual device.
type, major, and minor can be found in Documentation/devices.txt in the
kernel source:
9 char SCSI tape devices
0 = /dev/st0 First SCSI tape, mode 0
1 = /dev/st1 Second SCSI tape, mode 0
...
So... type char, major 9, and minor 0.
mknod -m 660 /dev/st0 c 9 0
