I got confused by the MAKEDEV, thinking I have to create a required disk.
In fact, using one of the disks in hw.disknames worked as expected.

Clear, I thought that /dev/ (in install kernel) was populated by
effective hardware, but reading your explaination is now clearer to me
what is happening.

It was already there, and I'm installing amd64 iso image on a virtual
machine with only one IDE controller (thus wd).
I've also created a virtual machine without any IDE/SATA disk, and
entering the shell there's a /dev/rsd0c and all other partitions.
