Hrm, in that case, I guess GPT overrides disk-level glabels.

I've never used GPT, just MBR-style partitioning, and I've always done it by labelling the disk (glabel label disk00 da0), slicing the label (fdisk -i /dev/label/disk00), partitioning the slice *bsdlabel -e /dev/label/disk00s1), formatting the partition (newfs /dev/label/disk00s1a), and mounting the filesystem.

I guess I'll leave it up to those with more experience with GPT to chime in.

I do know that GPT includes label support, which is accessed via glabel, so perhaps you can use that? Although, then it's partition-level labelling instead of disk-level labelling.
