In 3.0, sparc did not include the MAKEDEV magic to create wd* - this has
been fixed in -current. You should be able to create the missing devices
manually:

 mknod /dev/wd0a b 12 0
 mknod /dev/wd0b b 12 1
 mknod /dev/wd0c b 12 2
 mknod /dev/rwd0a c 26 0
 mknod /dev/rwd0b c 26 1
 mknod /dev/rwd0c c 26 2

Just boot a sparc64 install cd, ctrl-c out of sysinst (or use utils/shell),
mount the disk and create above devices on it.
