This probably means you are stuck with reinstalling.  I would try the 
sbc kernel if you are using the standard one.  Presume you have an 
/etc/fstab in place.

It would be a good idea to do the MAKEDEV thing before multiuser, 
yes.  Or else see if you can get the latest version of the installer. 
It should be one version newer than the one in the 1.5 release 
directories.
