The best approach is to have bsdlabel go over the partitions
and compare those with the XML of the GEOM stack. Then, on a
partition basis, you invoke g_part gctlreqs to modify, delete
and/or add partitions. When bootcode is to be installed, you
invoke a gctlreq for that separately. This approach also works
for fdisk(8).

FYI,
