>Description:
	Problem arrived when I tried to add slice to da0s1. First of all, I forced to use 
	'sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16' to create a slice. Then, when I try to finish
	DiskLabel, it says 'Error mounting /dev/da0s1h on /mnt : No such file or directory'. 
	Slice was created on da0s1, but there's no devfs entry in dev for newly created slice. 
	So, there's no way to news and mount and use /dev/da0s1h
>How-To-Repeat:
	launch sysinstall, choose configuration->label, try to create new slice on free space of
	partition, press 'W'
