Re: no partition entries for /dev/ad3

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 *******
[...]
Information from DOS bootblock is:
1: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 63, size 39102273 (19092 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63
