Bad idea. GEOM_LABEL can lead to filesystem corruption when used in conjunction with mirrored disks. You mount /dev/ufs/root thinking it corresponds to /dev/ar0s1a, when in fact it corresponds to /dev/ad0s1a (in most cases, if ad0 is a component of RAID 1 array ar0, ad0s1a will be tasted before ar0s1a, and GEOM_LABEL does not handle multiple identically labeled providers gracefully).
