GPT labels *are* already used (glabel is not used).

There's been a similar problem with graid, are you sure that's
not what's going on here? That the OS has picked up on some
BIOS-created thing?

Does this need to be diddled in the running kernel before creating
the zpool/datasets? or is it simply enough to drop it into loader.conf
for the reboot?

I'll run some tests.
