This is _very_ wong. 254 is dynamicly alocated major number. There can be 
different devices using 254 depending on kernel modules load order.

The correct solution for such non-udev systems would be probably init.d/dev 
script that would parse /proc/devices and setup /dev/ files properly. Not sure 
if MAKEDEV.spec is able to do the parsing on it's own but if it is then 
init.d/dev script calling MAKEDEV for some devices like rtc0 should be enough.
