 I am experiencing the same problem ... with sysinstall(8)!!!
 
 I used /usr/src/release/Makefile.sysinstall to cut myself a legacy installe=
 r for the 9.0 branch ... a sysinstall(8) installer versus the new bsdinstal=
 l installer cut from /usr/src/release/Makefile.
 
 When all was said and done (sysinstall crunched into boot_crunch using /usr=
 /src/release/i386/boot_crunch.conf), sysinstall(8) is for some reason writi=
 ng GPT labels even though it never has done so before.
 
 I'll go into sysinstall's disk partition editor, lay down a legacy filesyst=
 em, write it out, and then look at /dev to find that it didn't create /dev/=
 ada0s* but instead /dev/ada0p* (what's worse is that gpart subsequently sho=
 ws GPT but with "[CORRUPT]" next to it).
 
 This is completely hampering my ability to use sysinstall(8) as-built from =
 RELENG_9 to install RELENG_9.
 
 I'm left wondering if something changed in devfs or in libdisk.
