[ale] /dev/pilot does not exist

[alelist]

Situation-
/dev/pilot does not exist

What I am trying to do-
sync palm Vx with Evolution1.4 on fc2

Spec
Palm Vx OS_3.5 after hard reset
Serial cradle connected
Evolution 1.4 never been synced before

What I have tried...after Googling and fedora and archive-
1_ originally I thought it was just permissions
[root at blue root]# chmod 0666 /dev/pilot
chmod: cannot access `/dev/pilot': No such file or directory

and

[root at blue root]# pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -l
 
   The device /dev/pilot does not exist..
   Possible solution:
 
        mknod /dev/pilot c <major> <minor>
 
   Unable to bind to port: /dev/pilot
   Please use --help for more information
 

2_Well, I know ttyS0 and ttyS1 do exist...

[root at blue root]# setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0-4]
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS4, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0

?Advice please..
Should I make a soft link between ttyS0 and /dev/pilot...?

or something with mknod? I did a man mknod, but do not understand what
should be done.
