You could use GPT labels with the GPT schema. You normally need to boot with a live CD as you are not able to label the partitions while they are in use. Label then the partitions. Edit /etc/fstab of your / Replace /dev/adaxxx with /dev/method/name Labels will show up in different directories. GLabels show up in label, GPT lables in gpt and UFS labels in ufs. So, you will have to use i.e. /dev/label/root for the root device, /dev/label/var for the var device and so on. No matter how FreeBSD assigns the drives now, you machine will boot now if your BIOS finds your drive.
