Hm, I am becoming a bit uncertain when you say that the labels in fstab
work for you on a custom kernel without BSD disklabel support and
because I can't find the source of my "knowledge". If it would be not a
big deal and not last that long, I would compile a kernel without
support for BSD disklabels and try it out. So for now I hope someone
with better and certain knowledge about the topic can state about it
without trial and error.
