(new kernel will not boot root partition with old world, but inside qemu, with installation of new world and new kernel at once, booting works fine - except that there are to many /dev/ads1* entries - false positives) But on newly created partitions with bsdlabel inside qemu there is of course no false positives (there are correct numbers of partitions).
