/dev/null

Hello,

I have deleted /dev/null and now i have created it back
Code:
mknod /dev/null c 1 1
$ chmod 666 null
and when i write for example man ls it writes to me:
/usr/bin/nroff: line 1: /dev/null: Input/output error

how do i fix this ?

I think the minor is not 1, but 3
Code:
mknod /dev/null c 1 3
$ chmod 666 null
