So something like this whould suffice to populate /dev

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $char = "/sys/dev/char";
my $block = "/sys/dev/block";

sub run_dir($$) {
    my $dir = shift;
    my $type = shift;


    opendir(my $dh, $dir) || return;
    while(readdir $dh) {
    next unless m/^\d+:\d+$/;
    my $file = "$dir/$_";
    my ($maj,$min) = split(/:/);


    my $name = readlink($file);
    next unless (defined($name));
    $name =~ s|.*/||;
    print "mknod $name $type $maj $min\n";
    }
    closedir $dh;
}


sub main() {
    run_dir($char, "c");
    run_dir($block, "b");
}


main();

It woouldn't be hard to convert that to a shell script.
