With most of the da manpages > still in the fingers ;) (the 9 section). You miss the point ... it's a name only, and disklabel is going by the major/minor numbers, and can't even see it. If you rename the files in /dev (the sd# -> da#) and change your fstab, you'll be complete. Better yet, copy the sd# into da#, at which time your fstab can use either set of numbers, so you don't stand any chance of hurting yourself. I'm not certain this is a subject for current (cam is released on cdrom now).
