I thought this was documented somewhere but I'm not finding it in Googling.

I don't really like DUIDs, but I want to stick in a second drive
controller temporarily to recover data off some old hard drives.
Which means /dev/wd0a etc is going to change since the added
controller (in a PCI slot) becomes primary.  I'm perfectly comfortable
manually mounting and unmounting the old drives, I don't want to add
them to an fstab.

I want to replace my fstab with one that accesses my current
partitions using DUIDs.  Disklabel shows me a DUID for the drive, how
do I set up individual partitions?  Or is there already a DUID (or
UUID) for each partition that I need to find and use?

The main thing right now is to change fstab so it boots back up
smoothly with DUIDs.  I'll comment out my current entries and put the
DUID ones below.  And yes, I already made a backup copy.  All IDE,
can't afford SCSI.
