"tty1A9 not found error" ??? 1

SCO 5.0.2

I was trying to do a backup today, and got this error:

Failed to return local host device list.
Cannot continue Backup manager startup.
Failed to process the scoped request.
General failure occured in processing the request.
Unable to get list of available media devices.
Failed to process the scoped request.
General failure occured in processing the request.
The devtree utility was unable to obtain the status of the directory
/dev/tty1a9

Then I tried to get a list of some tty devices:
# l /dev/tty1A?

l: /dev/tty1A9 not found: No such file or directory (error 2)

crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 81,135 Aug 22 2000 /dev/tty1A8

what's up? Should I use mknod to rebuild tty1A9? tty1a9 (lowercase a) works fine.

HELP!?
