Subject:   mdconfig vs 'vnconfig -s labels'

In FreeBSD prior to 5.0 would attach a filesystem image to a vnode with

# vnconfig -s labels -c vn0 filesystem.image

In FreeBSD 5.0 the function of vnconfig has merged with mdconfig.
Attempts to attach my old images to an md with mdconfig fail in exactly
the same way as if I skipped "-s labels" in 4.7. The new mdconfig
utility does not have a "labels" option but appears to need one.

How has disk labeling changed in 5.0?

Any way in 5.0 to get at the contents of my disk images?

Will whatever has changed in 5.0 prevent me from moving a disk image
labeled and newfs'ed in 5.0 to a 4.7 system?
