Since I was asked off-list about this:
It doesn't need anything fancy, here's a shell script to read /etc/fstab
and output a converted format on stdout. Validate it with your own files
before relying on it in case I missed anything that it needs to skip.
#!/bin/ksh -e
while read p q; do
if [[ -z $p ]] || echo $p | grep -E '(/|:|#|^swap$)' > /dev/null; then
echo "$p $q"
else
r=$(disklabel $p | sed -nE 's,^# /dev/r(.*)c:$,/dev/\1,p')
echo $r${p#*.} $q
fi
done < /etc/fstab
