According to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/migration-guide.html:

"MAKEDEV is no longer available, nor is it required. FreeBSD 5.X uses
a device file system, which automatically creates device nodes on
demand. Configuration of the entries in the device filesystem can be
performed with the devfs(8) utility or with the /etc/devfs.conf
mechanism. More information can be found in the devfs(5) manual page."

Unfortunetly there is no MAKEDEV in 5.4, even for sparc.  Is it
possible it is some sort of compatibility problem with the partitions
created and gmirror?

Thanks
