Increase Device Driver Major No in SunOs 5.8

Hai,

I am Developing Device Driver For SunOs 5.8.

I want to Add more then 100 Device Driver in My Server.

But, Server Giving this "No available major numbers."

Now, How will increase this Major Number Count.

Sun Os is having any configuration for this ?
