A few checks later: it seems that my problem isn't related to bsdlabel.
I scpied images generated (dd+bsdlabel) on 7.2 to the 8.1 host, and vice
versa.
It seems that when I mdconfig -a -f $file the 7.2 img on the 8.1 host,
/dev/md${x}c doesn't appear.
But when I add the 8.1 image on the 7.2 host, /dev/md${x}c is correctly
added.
What is happening?!
