    How do you handle the situation when the master superblock on / is
    hosed and you need to find the filesystem parameters (in
    /etc/ufs.conf) before you can access /?

    If the BSD-style disklabels are going away, at least the root
    parameters need to be in the boot blocks or somewhere similar.
