I like the idea but what does this mean for upgrading existing NanoBSD
installations?  From reading the patch it looks like the new _.disk.image
file is not compatible with an existing installation and would be a POLA
violation.

Perhaps a configuration option to choose between the old and new naming
can be added?

This makes life easier for sure.

Notes on the script itself:
 - use glabel status instead of glabel list to find the provider name, this
   makes the script easier to follow and less vulnerable to future changes
   in the (verbose) output of glabel list.
 - # Check and set final >>varible<< should be spelled variable.
