I've reported the same yesterday on amd64. No, there is no
MAKEDEV.subr nowhere on the install CD; I was able to manually make a
few nodes and mount the disk, but couldn't find it in the brief time I
could try it.

The normal /dev/MAKEDEV doesn't appear to contain reference to
MAKEDEV.subr; it probably is some recent modification and the list of
files to include on the installation cdrom hasn't been upgraded.
