They're not there. A reboot still just has da0[c], da1[c], and > da2[c] show up. That's more than show up on i386's :-). After booting with -s, only the whole disk devices and the root device show up. Devices for slices and partitions slices only show up when they are opened or stat'ed. This bug is normally mostly hidden by opening most partitions to mount them. > Remember that there's no such thing as slices in alpha. I thought that they worked.
