Perhaps we can end this overly long thread with a simple request for
someone to build a GEOM module that uniquely identifies media
(how/wherever it may attach) and maps it to the proper place.  Failing
that, it would be great for someone to implement a "compat-oldbsd" GEOM
module that scans the MBR for type == 0xa5 and creates the da0x aliases.

Sometimes, the best way forward is through.

Thanks,
-Nate
