Added new ide hard drive system is missing /dev entry

How do I define (what do I put in mknod) to properly
create /dev/ad1 (primary slave ide hard drive) and its
slices?

After rebooting with the added drive, sysinstall
was able to slice and bsdlabel but when i tried to
mount the new /dev/ad1s1 it couldn't find the /dev file.
I looked in /dev and /dev/ad1 & /dev/ad1s1 are not there.

I remembered there being a shell script to define the
mknod's for a newly added device, but that was before
devfs? I didn't see the script in /dev where I remembered
it being.

thanks
