However I have no experience about non-GPT disk.
And I do not understand naming rule about non-GPT disk partitions.

EXAMPLES
     To use “NAME” on a non-GPT disk, use:

     NAME=sb2k5Root/a        /       ffs     rw,log           1 1
     NAME=sb2k5Root/b        none    swap    sw,dp            0 0

     For a gpt(8) disk, use:

     NAME=firstpartition     /       ffs     rw,log           1 1
     NAME=secondpartition    none    swap    sw,dp            0 0
