Or just:
grep 'aac' /proc/devices
#Note the number--this is the major number for your device file.
cd /dev
mknod afa0 c <<major number>> 0
#e.g. "mknod afa0 c 253 0"

On a udev-based system, the device file will keep going away at reboot
unless you hack it into the udev rules.  This is left as an exercise blah
blah blah.
