(i hope not! :( ) First, boot single-user. Then: # mount -o rw /dev/wd0a (or sd0a, if your root is SCSI) # cd /dev # sh MAKEDEV all # sh MAKEDEV wd0s1a # sh MAKEDEV wd0s2a # sh MAKEDEV wd0s3a . . . <repeat for all slices, all disks> Unfortunately, 'MAKEDEV all' does not recreate 'slice' devices (although it happily deletes them, last time I checked), so you have to do it by hand.
