I had already been able to go so far as to "disklabel -w -r ad3 auto". After doing this
on a 4.X system I would then "disklabel -e /dev/ad3s1c", but /dev/ad3s1c does
not exist, so I am stuck. Maybe there is a "rescan devices" command?


fdisk thinks it has no work to do:

******* Working on device /dev/ad3 *******

       beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
       end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63

You probably need to fdisk(8) your disk first. The slices should then
appear automagically. Then you can disklabel(8) the slices which will
bring the partitions into life. Disklabel and bsdlabel are the same on
i386.
