That is correct.

When you do 
sh MAKEDEV all
it will make your disk slices, but it will make not make the partitions on
your slices.  For my ide disk, I did
sh MAKEDEV ad0s4a since FreeBSD is on the 4th slice.
Doing that causes it to create the entries
ad0s4a
ad0s4b
...all the way to ad0s4h
Then edit /etc/fstab to use ad0 devices (just change the "w's" to "a's"),
so that when your new 4.0 kernel goes looking for ad0 devices it can find
them.
