My appologies - I just noticed the Chris has no access to docs...
 
Here is the meat:
 
Usage: mknod "name c|p major minor [link_name]".
        name         : name of the special file to create.
        c|p          : character mode or fifo.
        major        : device major number.
        minor        : device minor number.
        link_name    : link name (from nmmgr link screen).
 
So, to build a link pointing to a tape on LDEV 14:
 
OPUS:KLEIN[57]=>mknod "XYZZY c 14 0"
