They look wrong for amd64 - however that happened.

Make sure you have an up to date /dev/MAKEDEV script (postinstall can
verify and fix that), then do (as root):

cd /dev
rm {r,}wd{0,1}?
sh MAKEDEV wd0 wd1
ls -l {r,}wd{0,1}d

I get:

crw-r-----  1 root  operator  3,  3 Dec 20 12:46 rwd0d
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  3, 19 Dec 20 12:46 rwd1d
