Note, in particular, that '(cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV all)' will not make the [a-h] partitions on any slices > 0.

Maybe it's time to change the line

for slicepartname in s0h s1 s2 s3 s4

to

for slicepartname in s0h s1h s2h s3h s4h

so that /dev/MAKEDEV makes the [a-h] /dev entries for all slices?

For whatever it's worth, slice 0 isn't actually terribly useful. 8)
