devfs

I just installed freebsd 5.2.  I have 2 disks, both the same.  I am
pretty sure they're both dangerously dedicated (henceforth dd).
Sysinstall made my first disk da0s1, but the second disk (which
already had a root and swap on it from an older 5.1 install) came up
as simply da1.

So things look like this:

Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a  32933964 2219976 28079272     7%    /
devfs               1       1        0   100%    /dev
/dev/da1a    32933964 1494196 28805052     5%    /mnt

I know it's just esthetics, but how do I get da0s1a to be da0a in the
context of 5.x's devfs?

Since this is a dd partition, there really shouldn't be a "s1" in the
name in my oppinion.
