diskmap(4) interface
People using USB attached storage or softraid(4) configurations often
had difficulty with drive identifiers changing from boot to boot, or
between hardware configurations. diskmap(4) allows you to mount drives
by unique disklabel UIDs rather than how they are attached, so now you
can use the same /etc/fstab on your USB flash disk without worrying
wheter it would come up as sd0, sd1 sd2, etc.

If your target machine has an ahci(4) or SCSI interface, you will
probably find your USB drive's identifier changing. Having multiple
versions of your /etc/fstab file may make this easier to "fix" (in
single user mode).

-------Question
Would somebody rewrite  #flashmemLive section for the diskmap interface change?
or how to edit the /etc/fstab  for live USB device without worrying
wheter it would come up as sd0, sd1 sd2, etc.
