To my knowledge, Windows (XP, at least; probably others) labels the boot
filesystem on install, and just probe

Ugly how? Labels appear a lot more semantically elegant than the opaque
'ada4s1a' moniker.
Ugly in that the driver has created a

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 to enable

glabel looks to place a label on the whole disk, but the manpage is
unclear (to me) how the partitions are handled. If I use glabel to

each partition accessed? testp1...testp4 for gpt?

I was getting ready to install the latest FreeBSD 9-RCs image, and I

would be great if it weren't for the fact that the ahci driver seems to
