When I run disklabel i get:
  # disklabel -I -i ld0
  disklabel: /dev/rld0c: No such file or directory
What can I do about that?

There is no /dev/MAKEDEV on my install CD, but even when I check a regular MAKEDEV on another running system this MAKDEV doesn't have anything about ld(4) in it.

If I wanted to create the device node with mknod(8), I would need the major number for both the block and character device.

I tried to run mknod like this
  # cd /dev
  # mknod lo0  b 0
  # mknod rld0 c 0
  disklabel: ld0: Operation not supported by device

How do I figure out how to use mknod(8)? The man page tells me to look at the 'conf.c' file but there's nothing about ld(4) in there.

Does anybody have an idea on what to do? Thanks a lot in advance.
