If I want to partition my disk into several logical volumes,
I need to have device entries like /dev/wn0b, /dev/wn0c, etc.
If I have more than one disk and more than one disk controller,
I need to have device entries like /dev/wn1a, /dev/wn1b, etc.

I want to say '/etc/mount -avt 4.3' to mount all devices
mentioned in /etc/fstab, instead of using /com/mtvol.

None of this seems to be possible in the bsd environment.
I cannot find information how to 'mknod' such disk devices.

Showing my mounted disks after /com/mtvol yields the strange
	/dev/wn0a on / type 4.3 (rw)
	/dev/dsk/W0d1s1 on /shiva2 type AEG (rw)
and the df listing has its own non-bsd naming conventions
	Filesystem    kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on

	  1d858.2    1367480 1118560  248920    82%    /shiva2
