While this works, I find it best to leave gpt in place and then use gpart
to label all partitions (except swap which does not support it) and use
glabel to label swap.
Now everything is named and there should never be any confusion. You can
see why I leave gpt labels enabled. Here is my fstab:
 # Device    Mountpoint        FStype    Options        Dump    Pass#
/dev/gpt/swap    none            swap    sw        0    0
/dev/gpt/rootfs    /            ufs    rw        1    1
/dev/gpt/tmp    /tmp            ufs    rw        2    2
/dev/gpt/usr    /usr            ufs    rw        2    2
/dev/gpt/var    /var            ufs    rw        2    2
/dev/ntfs/Windows7_OS    /media/Windows7_OS    ntfs
