Device Drivers: Not finding my device

Hi there,

I'm trying to write a device driver on an OSF1 V4.0 878 alpha for a
scanner using a SCSI bus.

I'm now at the point where I'd like to test my driver, so using the steps
defined in the Digital Unix book "Writing Device Drivers: Tutorial", I
set up my device on the system. However, whenever I try to access my
device it says: No such file or directory. Note that I can see it in the
"ls" listing of the /dev directory, but when I try to do an "ls -al" on
that particular device it says "/dev/can not found" (my device's name is
can).

Does anyone have any suggestions of what I've done wrong?

Thanks,
Devinder.
