Your lines are unpleasantly long and blank padded up to 80 characters, btw.

mount /
or
mount -u /dev/wd0a /

makes the root FS writeable in such a case. mount -a gives you a bit more
comfort in this mode (single user).

After having done that, try to find out the reason why MAKEDEV returned
non-zero status by doing a 
cd /dev
sh -x MAKEDEV
