	Although the new 2.0.5 stuff is great and FreeBSD has made me a real
fan, I have one problem. What happened to controlling the device of a partition
in a label, for example:
wd0a 	/
wd0g	/usr
wd0h	/home

Although this is not that important of a topic for someone to worry about, I am
just curious as to why the labelling facility on the boot.flp does not allow 
one
to say I want my next partition to be wd0g instead of e.

This is by no means a flame of any sort, just a question as to why things 
changed.
