Unless FreeBSD 5 changed the node numbers you have them wrong.  The
following are from FreeBSD 4.

drugs:bind9-gdib 08:55 {529} % ls -l /dev/null 
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    2,   2 Aug 18 08:51 /dev/null
drugs:bind9-gdib 08:55 {530} % ls -l /dev/random 
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    2,   3 Jul  3 11:38 /dev/random
drugs:bind9-gdib 08:55 {531} % ls -l /dev/zero 
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    2,  12 Jul  3 11:38 /dev/zero
drugs:bind9-gdib 08:55 {532} %
