 The panic seems not to be connected to the warning.
 
 I partitioned the .eli with gpt and received no warnings, but still got 
 a reboot while writing. I changed some options on the raid-adapter 
 (which isn't supported by freebsd anyway - the raid is softraid) and 
 now I don't have any panics.
 
 So GPT works fine for me and I will be using that. I can't verify 
 whether it would have worked with bsdlabels as well but I think so.
 
 The warning in itself should still be considered a bug, but not really 
 important. You may change or close this PR, however you see fit.
 
 In case someone wants to work on the warning, here are the infos that 
 may help:
 
 Warning appears if you have 
 UFS <-> bsd-partition <-> bsdlabel <-> .eli <-> freebsd-slice 
 -> /dev/ad0s1.elia
 
 Warning DOES NOT appear if you have:
 UFS <-> .eli <-> freebsd-slice
 ->/dev/ad0s1.eli
 
 OR: UFS <-> bsd-partition <-> bsdlabel <-> .eli
 -> /dev/ad0.elia
 
 OR: UFS <-> gpt-partition <-> gpt-layout <-> .eli <-> freebsd-slice 
 -> /dev/ad0s1.elip1
 
 OR: UFS <-> bsd-partition <-> bsdlabel <-> freebsd-slice 
 -> /dev/ad0s1a
