To my knowledge, Windows (XP, at least; probably others) labels the boot

worry about remembering to update the fstab, since the labels follow the
data.
If you want to use labels then by all means use them. I can seem
advantages to using them. What I'm saying is that it is broken to have
to use them in order to fix issues with the ahci driver usi

Can glabels, gpt, and zfs all work together? I have a system where I
have disks with 4 gpt partitions. Partitions 2 and 3 are part of gmirror
arrays, and partition 4 is part of a zfs pool. glabel says it writes to
the end of the partition, which I believe zfs also writes to doesn't it?

This is overstated. Since a GPT ordinarily is intended to be booted
from, and so must be recognized by the

Is there a loader.conf entry to enable the static ids, or will the ahci
driver always use static ids if "options ATA_STATIC_ID" is in the kernel
config? I desire to use stock kernels and the 9-rc2 boot iso seems to
not have ATA_STATID_ID set (unless there's a loader.conf value

I was getting ready to install the latest FreeBSD 9-RCs image, and I
found that 9 now defaults to using the ahci driver for sata disks. This
would be great if it weren't for the fact that the ahci driver seems to
do dynamic device name assignment as opposed to the static ones used

This is probably a better idea.

If you're in single user mode "mount -uw /" will make / (and thus

/bin/ed and /rescue/{ex,vi}.

Almost certainly, yes. If your BIOS and SATA controller use AHCI, and

I'm told it would be better to enable the AHCI driver form my SATA2
