I ran into this problem as well. Doing searching of the kernel source,
I found the major device number to be 93. I guessed at a minor number
of 0 and it worked.
bash-2.04$ ls -l cfs0
crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 93, 0 Nov 14 20:23 cfs0
Later, I found the answer in the docs confirming my guess:
http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/doc/html/manual/x1050.html
I have submitted a pr to fix MAKEDEV. Since I have confirmed my guess,
I should actually send in a patch for MAKEDEV.
Coda does run fine on FreeBSD; I have it running here (although only for
a week or so so far).
