ds_newinst.pl does not register any information in the console - it 
merely creates/copies in the config files.  ds_newinst.pl was created 
for the 7.1 release which used pre-open source setup, console, and admin 
server code.  We needed a way to create an instance using completely 
open source code, which meant we could not use setup, console, admin 
server, etc.  But this is a moot point since the 1.0 release of open 
source everything.

If you need to create a new instance from the command line, and have all 
of the admin server/console registration done, you should use 
bin/slapd/admin/bin/ds_create e.g.
cd bin/slapd/admin/bin
./ds_create -s -f /path/to/your/install.inf
