Thank you. :)

I rather hesitate to do this; after all, I don't think anyone supports

disk0 at sd0
partition0 at disk0 number 0
partition1 at disk0 number 1
partition2 at disk0 number 4
partition3 at disk0 number 7

...especially for removables.

I much prefer the labelfs suggestion, so we have (for example)

disk0 at sd0

and then

mount -t label /dev/disk0 /dev/disk0x

and as for MBRs and the like,

mount -t label -o type=MBR /dev/disk0 /dev/pdisk0
mount -t label -o type=BSD /dev/pdisk0/a /dev/pdisk1
mount -t label -o type=Linux /dev/pdisk0/b /dev/pdisk2
...
mount -t ffs /dev/pdisk1/a /
mount -t ffs /dev/pdisk1/g /usr
mount -t ext2fs /dev/pdisk2/e /mnt

The major problem I see with this is how it gets bootstrapped.  I
haven't come up with any sort of answer for that yet.
