Try the following MFS trick:

	mount_mfs -T fd1440 none /mnt
	cd /mnt
	sh /dev/MAKEDEV ad4s1a
	mount -u /mnt/ad4s1a /
	cd /dev
	sh MAKEDEV ad4s1a

The usual way of getting out of this situation is to use a fixit
CD/floppy to create the device nodes, but the above should work
without the need for that.
