newfs figures out the raw device if you give it the non-raw.
# newfs /dev/zvol/dsk/data/vol/testlun3

newfs: construct a new file system /dev/zvol/rdsk/data/vol/testlun3: (y/n)?

Regardless, both the dsk and rdsk entries point to the same base pseudo device,
which goes missing after boot and only reappears when a change happens to a zvol
(delete, create, rename). Having it disappear across a reboot seems like a bug.
