Well, /dev/MAKEDEV is supposed to build the partition device names for slices iff (and only if) you call it like `MAKEDEV da0s1a' (building da0s1 alone doesn't suffice). Also, the name of the boot device is passed up from the bootstrap, so you need to reinstall the bootstrap (disklabel -B da0s1) in order to get it to new names.
