I just did an upgrade from an old 7.2 installation to 8.3-RC2 last night, and the kernel was only able to mount root from a ufsid label and could not detect any bsdlabels. The 7.2 installation used static bsdlabeled disks (/dev/ad0s1a etc). This seemed to be an unexpected change (I had to get the remote datacenter to connect an ipkvm to fix the problem), particularly because the 7.2 kernel never loaded geom_label but somehow the partitions ended up with labels quite mysteriously; the box was originally installed from 6.x-R from 2006.
