I just had a look at it, and it looks like the gpt error message is
misleading. ktrace -i shows:
15574 1 gpt NAMI "/dev/drvctl"
15574 1 gpt RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
15574 1 gpt CALL close(3)
15574 1 gpt RET close 0
15574 1 gpt CALL write(2,0xbfbfdd80,5)
15574 1 gpt GIO fd 2 wrote 5 bytes
"gpt: "
15574 1 gpt RET write 5
15574 1 gpt CALL write(2,0xbfbfddb0,0x1d)
5574 1 gpt GIO fd 2 wrote 29 bytes
"unable to open device 'rwd0d'"
So I guess you don't have 'pseudo-device drvctl' in your kernel config
file ...
