 I started with the default GENERIC 8.0-release kernel and it is broken.
 It does not provide /dev entries for MBR extended partitions.
 
 Changing the GEOM_* options to be
 
 #define GEOM_BSD 1
 #define GEOM_LABEL 1
 #define GEOM_PART_GPT 1
 #define GEOM_MBR 1
 
 (which turns out to be the same as they were in 7.1) makes everything=20
 work.
