If I boot in single user, I can create and see the labels under /dev/label, however if I remount the / filesystem RW then /dev/label disappears. BUT, if I just replace my / partition in fstab with the seemingly missing label (eg /dev/label/rootfs) then the system boots up fine and /dev/label is again available to `ls`. Strange stuff, it should be covered in the handbook... Problem solved, I guess.
