with MAKEDEV gone, the mystery is how to use devfs.
In /dev I have ad3, but I cannot "disklabel -e /dev/ad3s1d",
nor can I "disklabel -e /dev/ad3", and I can't determine
what minor device numbers to assign for mknod to create
the partition entries.

So how does one use devfs to do what MAKEDEV used to do?
