Actually, it will, in the case where the mbr partitions existed at
the time the first synthetic netbsd label was created in-core.

Bill's proposal (or a number of other options) allow one type of
label to update the other each boot (even if the latter is now only
in-core). Sounds good to me.

Hot damn!  I wish I'd known about that a few weeks ago. Neat.
