I'm not using potato but maybe i can help ..
you may be able to copy this to your MAKEDEV script and run it with the ht
option ..
ht)
major=`Major ht0 37` || continue
# Only one IDE tape drive is currently supported; ht0.
makedev ht0 c $major 0 $tape
makedev ht0 c $major 0 $tape
makedev nht0 c $major 128 $tape
(just copied it out of /dev/MAKEDEV)
worth a shot i think.
