 It seems to be quite legitimate for the entries in /dev/gpt
 to disappear when a filesystem is mounted.  I set
 kern.geom.label.debug to 255 at the boot loader prompt
 to see what was happening and they were indeed deleted.
 
 The real bug is why are the entries for filesystems on
 /dev/ada1, the second drive, not being deleted when
 the file system is mounted?  The same applies to the
 entries in /dev/ufsid and /dev/gptid.  There is some
 inconsistency here, which has had me a bit confused.
 
 Tested on 10.0-CURRENT and 9.0-RC2
 The 9.0-RC2 system has several drives with gpt
 labels, and they all appear except for the filesystem
 on /dev/ada0.
