So now I'll see > if I can get it booting :) I believe the above is bsdlabel's idea of an "auto" label. I don't know why the 16 sector offset for the "a" partition, because you don't get that when you label a slice via sysinstall and choose the "auto defaults." (Maybe there's a case for making bsdlabel's "auto" label behave the same as sysinstall.) I edited mine from 16 to 0, too, when using (roughly) the same label as my sysinstalled minimal system on the mirror device. I haven't noticed any ill effects (touch wood:).
