Yes, it means that you have to re-make the device nodes for your
disks. I *think* that this is primarily for IDE disks (the wd* devices
need replacing with ad*).
So you need to do something like:
parish# cd /dev
parish# ls ad*
ls: No match.
parish# ./MAKEDEV ad0
parish# !ls
ls ad*
ad0 ad0b ad0d ad0f ad0h ad0s2 ad0s4
ad0a ad0c ad0e ad0g ad0s1 ad0s3
parish# ./MAKEDEV ad0s4a
parish# !ls
ls ad*
ad0 ad0c ad0f ad0s1 ad0s4 ad0s4c ad0s4f
ad0a ad0d ad0g ad0s2 ad0s4a ad0s4d ad0s4g
ad0b ad0e ad0h ad0s3 ad0s4b ad0s4e ad0s4h
parish# ./MAKEDEV ad0s1a
parish# !ls
ls ad*
ad0 ad0c ad0f ad0s1 ad0s1c ad0s1f ad0s2 ad0s4a ad0s4d ad0s4g
ad0a ad0d ad0g ad0s1a ad0s1d ad0s1g ad0s3 ad0s4b ad0s4e ad0s4h
ad0b ad0e ad0h ad0s1b ad0s1e ad0s1h ad0s4 ad0s4c ad0s4f
parish#
etc. (I have SCSI disks, that's why *I* had no ad* devices :))
