I'm pretty sure I labelled all three disks with the auto mode
of disklabel.
It's wierd that it used to work at CTM src-cur 3429 but not now.
As I've just said to Julian, removing DEVFS and SLICE gives
me a working system.
Can I just edit these disklabels and put 'SCSI' in place of unknown
without affecting the filesystems ? (I hope so!).
