They're there ... just don't start with "ast". You'll probably want "nrast0"
for your dump device as that's the non-rewinding version.

Now, don't ask me why on the SCSI side of the fence I have an "sa0" device
file to go along with my nrsa0, ersa0, rsa0, etc. nodes. But, your files
should be there .....
