"MAKEDEV all" is designed to create a generic set of devices that covers most situations. It _doesn't_ cover all situations - in particular sound devices and disk slices. You have to make those devices manually. In this case, I don't believe it's appropriate to automatically create ad4/ad5 because the majority of people won't have them - common hardware provides 2 IDE channels, each capable of supporting 2 devices. If you have a 3rd IDE channel, then you would have had to create the wd/ad devices manually anyway. I'd recommend "find /dev -type b -ls", or for the more paranoid "find /dev -type d -o -type c -o -type l -o -ls", followed by manual MAKEDEV or rm commands as appropriate.
