Personally, I think this is a needed enhancement for MAKEDEV. IMHO, it
violates the POLA that a "MAKEDEV all" doesn't make _all_ the necessary
devices to run one's system. (_I_ keep forgetting, since it's usually
at least months between one system install and another, and always end
up having to go back and do a "MAKEDEV da0s1a" or whatever, usually in
single-user mode when the system refused to mount filesystems because
of missing /dev entries. Sigh.) Or at the very _least_, "MAKEDEV da1"
should make the slice devs too.
