Go for (b) - the internal "wedge:" encoding should not be exposed here IMHO.

I use:

config          netbsd          root on wedge "Guru-Root" type ffs

on my evbarm (GuruPlug) machine where I recently replaced the root disk
with a 3 TB GPT labeld one (and u-boot does not pass any boot device,
which is unrelated to the root device in this case anyway).

P.S.: the feature is way cool and very simple - now we can finaly wire 
everything by GPT label. I wish boot.cfg would gain a rootdevice option
to set it, then we could even use it with GENERIC kernels (but that is
off-topic here)
