The install ramdisk comes with a limited /dev tree to save space.
You just have to use /etc/MAKEDEV to create the missing devices you
need. (Like you only have access to 3 ide and scsi hard-drive on
the ramdisk.)

e.g.: cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV wd3 wd4 ccd0 ccd1

ccd support is provided in the CD ramdisk kernel and bsd.rd but not
ccdconfig (from memory).  You can use /mnt/sbin/ccdconfig although
to be safe, you should extract the newer one from base40.tgz.

After that I would go on with a manual upgrade.
