I've build a new kernel with

nooptions   GEOM_PART_BSD
nooptions   GEOM_PART_EBR
nooptions   GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT
nooptions   GEOM_PART_MBR
options     GEOM_BSD
options     GEOM_LABEL
options     GEOM_PART_GPT
options     GEOM_MBR

Now my gpt partitions are seen under 8.3 :-) I'm unsure wether to use =
GEOM_BSD or GEOM_PART_BSD - but it works.

Thanks - Nicola
