 As I have always run whatever was -current on my macppc hosts, I recall
 seeing this almost two years ago when disklabel wedge support was enabled
 by default.  I first saw it on i386 when '/etc/rc.d/root' failed because
 it insisted on the "dk(4)" device but the "ld(4)" (hardware raid) device
 was in "/etc/fstab".
 
 Not much later, I saw it on macppc and just sort of went with it.  The
 only snag at the time being that wedge autodiscovery wasn't picking up
 the flag indicating that a partition was a swap partition.
