hi there, any thoughts on using http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ for pciids instead of the Hart and Boemler lists. the SF site seems to be updated more regularly and would get rid of the need to decide for each entry, whether to take the Hart or Boemler one. right now

hi there, glabel seems to ignore IDs, if there are proper labels available. e.g. if a partition has a glabel or a ufs label the gptid or ufsid won't get displayed in 'glabel status'. however for partitions of the type 'freebsd-boot' this doesn't seem to be the case:
