In that case you should have a /dev/ad3s1. Have you?
harti

The chronology is that I booted the system, did the disklabel -w -r ad3 
auto,
turned around to disklabel -e /dev/ad3s1c (as I would normally do), and
was told that /dev/ad3s1c did not exist. Then I wrote in here asking for 
help.
ad3s1c does not exist.
