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

Can glabels, gpt, and zfs all work together? I have a system where I

The other option seems to be to use tunefs or a partitioning tool to

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

Is there a way to use the ahci driver and get static device names?

it will have when it comes time to partition
(and label, if I were using that). I could probably figure it out
by looking at what disks are used on the system, but that's more
work that it really should be.

this will apply in your case.

glabel looks to place a label on the whole disk, but the manpage is

cam(4) gives examples of how you can do this by using device hints in
loader.conf(5) or device.hints(5). Another example:

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