It goes back to 1.1.x days-style devices, which will cause mount to blow up. You'll have to rebuild each disk and such manually. So walk through and do makedev wd0s0 makedev wd0s1 makedev wd0s2 makedev wd0s3 makedev wd1s0 ... and so forth as you require. You should be able to do this from single-user mode (the 'press return for sh' prompt), if you run 'mount /' to get it into read/write before running makedev. Hope this helps.
