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)

There is no slice s0. "s0" is handled specially by MAKEDEV (and eventually replaced by "") to give the compatibility slice (slice number 0), which is very useful.
