I use /stand/sysinstall to create a FreeBSD slice wd0s3. Inside it, I use
disklabel -r -e /dev/wd0s3 to create several partitions within it.  Now I
want to create filenames wd0s3[a-h] under the directory /dev, what should
I do? 

I could create partitions with /stand/sysinstall as well, which will
create /dev/wd0s3[a-h] automatically.  But that process also updates the
MBR. I have to set the main FreeBSD slice bootable, otherwise I will get
"invalid partition table" on next boot.

Thanks for any help.
