GPT partitions missing, upgrading 7.4 to 8.3

I've build a new kernel with
nooptions GEOM_PART_BSD
nooptions GEOM_PART_EBR
nooptions GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT
nooptions GEOM_PART_MBR
options GEOM_BSD
options GEOM_LABEL
options GEOM_PART_GPT
options GEOM_MBR
Now my gpt partitions are seen under 8.3 :-) I'm unsure wether to use GEOM_BSD or GEOM_PART_BSD - but it works.
Thanks - Nicola
