Really?  When I do this:

jkh@time-> lsdev -c -t disk
# This listing automatically generated by lsdev(1)
fd0 at fdc0 drive 0

I only get the floppy.  I'd expect to see sd0 and sd1, too?  I need
to be able to tell which devices one can install to, after all..

Argh!  I need that for SLIP/PPP, too..  This is looking bleak.
