If you mean DOS partitions, that the slices already exist with file
systems, and you just want to create the FreeBSD /dev entries for mounting
purposes:

/dev/wd0s1     - Primary DOS slice on disk 0
/dev/wd0s5     - Extended DOS slice on disk 0
/dev/wd1s1     - Primary DOS slice on disk 1
/dev/wd1s5     - Extended DOS slice on disk 1

You'll need to MAKEDEV the s5 entries.

cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV wd0s5
sh MAKEDEV wd1s5

if you need them.

If you physically want to recreate the slices, you'll need to re-FDISK your
disk to create them (DOS or FreeBSD FDISK), disklabel (if FreeBSD
partition), and then put the desired file system on them first.
