When did you see that message?  Was it printed from the bootloader, or
after you booted?  If it happened after boot, then they're probably
harmless, but you can make them go away by setting
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable=0.
Thanks for the reply!
It's during boot, and found in dmesg.boot. I wouldn't care so much,
except I was unable to boot into the system until I performed a
gpart modify -i <N> -l <SLICE-LABEL> on all the slices, and modify
fstab(5) accordingly. Kind of a rough start for an install IMHO. :)

Thanks again, for the reply, Alan!
