It also tends to sometimes hide the gpt label provider on me (not sure

This happens when something (e.g. zfs) happens to open the diskid
provider instead of the gpt label. For me this ended up being a bit
more than annoying; my swap was mounted in /etc/fstab via a gpt label
so I silently lost my swap when I did an upgrade.
I have seen this too, starting from a fresh install.
The install process for stable/10 writes a /dev/gpt style label
into /etc/fstab for the swap space, and that never gets used,
because the /dev/diskid/xxxx stuff appears to take precedence.
I put the following into /boot/loader.conf to make the system more
sane:
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable=0

I have a patch for the installer that solves this issue by explicitly
using /dev/adaXpY or adaXsYb etc
I thought the label was a nice way to do it, but it backfired.
Oh, zfsboot uses labels? The UFS partition editor never has, mostly for
this reason. Sorry for spreading misinformation -- I'm not really
familiar with the ZFS code.
