If it's in /dev, it should be a special device. This should have a
major/minor device number, not a size. If you run the command 'ls -l
/dev/sequencer' and the first character of the output is a dash or 'd',
a regular file or directory has been created instead of the appropriate
special device. This can often happen when a program is run expecting
to open the device but its instantiation in the filesystem hasn't yet
been created.
Either find out what package should have created /dev/sequencer
and re-install, or try to find what major/minor device numbers are
associated with it and use 'mknod' to recreate it.
